Port of Mystery is the fourth compilation album by Keyboardist Yanni, released on the Windham Hill label in 1997 (see 1997 in music). The album peaked at #4 on Billboard's "Top New Age Albums" chart and at #142 on the "Billboard 200" chart in the same year.

Contains previously released recordings:
Tracks 1,4,5 & 7 From "Optimystique"
Track 2 From "Dare To Dream"
Tracks 3 & 8 From "Keys To Imagination"
Track 6 From "Out Of Silence"



Though the album cover claims differently, there is nothing "essential" about this package. Created, as most samplers are, without input from the artist, Port of Mystery takes half of its selections from the tossed-off album Optimystique, a dated 1980 recording that Yanni's old record label, Private Music, rereleased in 1989. The older pieces and their antiquated instrumentation, notably "The Magus," sound almost comical when tracked next to newer pieces such as "Looking Glass" and "You Only Live Once." If you are seeking a truly worthy Yanni sampler, start your search with Reflections of Passion.

Port of Mystery is a fine budget-line collection featuring several of Yanni's best-known tracks for Windham Hill. While it isn't a comprehensive retrospective, it's a useful sampler for the casual and the curious.
