The Very Best of Yanni is the thirteenth compilation album by Keyboardist Yanni, released on the Private Music label in 2000 (see 2000 in music). The album peaked at #3 on Billboard's "Top New Age Albums" chart in the same year. It includes popular songs from his early albums including, Dare to Dream, In My Time, Keys to Imagination, Reflections of Passion, Out of Silence and Niki Nana.



A handful of his millions of fans worldwide are bound to not have every big Yanni hit in their collection, and so this collection - perhaps the final Private Music greatest-hits collection, because there have been various others - certainly serves a functional purpose. Because of the seemingly simple compositional nature of his tunes and his intense showmanship, the Greek-born keyboardist has inspired his share of detractors, too. But these songs, from the classically inspired "Aria" (first heard on a series of British Airways commercials) to the exotic, Middle Eastern-flavored "Looking Glass" and lush, percussive "Swept Away" proves that if he's not the world's greatest technician, he can definitely write a strong melody. And that's what pop music is all about, so lighten up. The solo piano number "One Man's Dream" is now a precious new age classic, as is "In the Mirror." These tracks make the most emotional impact, even though most of the songs here that made him most popular are a bit more of the synth-created variety. If you are a big Yanni fan, check the track listing; chances are, you have all these songs somewhere else. Still, The Very Best of Yanni is a good primer on the man and his music.
