Here's what people are saying
about this CD:
"From classical to jazz to new age, this
album showcases Daniel's extraordinary talent and mastery of
the piano. The nocturnes are beautiful pieces, and the Lone Hiker
Suite is something I'll never tire of listening to; with each
listen another texture, mood, interplay of harmonies is revealed."
"To me, the thing that is most impressive
about it is how the pieces take you on a journey through different
shades of color, moods, and landscapes within, without losing the
threads of the compositions which maintain continuity in the pieces."
"I listen to this album most every evening,
and never tire of it. "Whisper To The Night", the tenth
selection, is the most beautiful composition ever, especially the
way Daniel plays it."

"This CD is fantastic. Very strong ties to
classical piano, yet with modern twists. The Nocturnes are haunting,
evoking a solitude that is inviting and peaceful. The duet (The
Princess) with the violinist is fantastic."
"Daniel Padrón must be a visionary of past
and future with his new CD. He seems to blend an ancient mystical
knowledge of sound to this 21st century creation "Whisper to
the Night." At the wellness center where I work, we play this
CD for our patients before they see the doctor. People report feeling
deeply relaxed, balanced, and think this CD is wonderful."
