"This is possibly the best collection of Piano tunes ever. The variety and selections are awesome. I've owned this for 10 years and have never tired of it. Listening will transform you to a place of peace. I love this one and you will too."

Simply Beautiful

"I first heard this CD in 1989. I still listen to it in 2004. My wife and I curl up on the floor every once in a while, turn off all the lights and just listen to this CD from beginning to end. Moody, beautiful, elegant...everything it should be. I love classic rock and heavy metal mostly. This is not like my usual thing, but I love it nontheless."

Beautiful, moving

"First off, two things. One, this was issued in 1986, not 1974 (maybe corrected since), so it's not some experimental prog rock something or other. Two, the song samples above aren't even close (also maybe corrected). In reality, it's a collection of some early, exquisite Windham Hill gems, just when that label began to hit its stride, that gave new age the credibility it needed. In fact, I call it contemporary instrumental, since I think that term reflects this type of music, more real and emotional. Just perfect. The yearly WH samplers throughout the 80's are also very highly recommended - every one a treat. For someone who is not very "new-agey" and likes a very wide selection of music from alternative rock to jazz to bluegrass, etc., this cd remains one of my favorites."
