If the piano was a cat and your spine a ball of twine, your frolicsome-quotient would still not be so aptly met as when this disc spins for the first time in your CD player. Peter Noonan's collection of solo piano compositions calls to mind a wild-eyed tabby that has slipped its bell and, tail-twitching, bounces headlong off the walls and ceilings of musical restraint. Cafe is an expression of utter freedom framed only by dazzling keyboard craftsmanship, and exhibiting such skill at the recording arts that you'll wonder why you've never before noticed that pianos, if you really listen to 'em, have triangular ears, long tails, and whiskers. Peter Noonan and his piano-at-play should appeal to everyone trying to escape to the outdoors while keeping one eye on the birdcage.

My twin sons are almost four years old and have listened to this cd every night of their life. My husband and I received it as a gift, and put it in one night in the nursery because we wanted to listend to something that we would really enjoy as we put our infant sons to bed. We liked it so much that we listened to it every night, and it became an integral part of our bedtime ritual. Now they ask for "Cafe at Arles" by name, or simply say--the "night-night" music.

Wow! This one is really amazing. I even flew all the way to LA with it on repeat. . . and I still wanted to have another listen because I hadn't soaked it all in yet. It is positively mind boggling that this is original work. Can any of you write like that??? Yeah, neither can I. But Pete can, so but youself a copy(or two or three) and then give one to all your friends. Simply wonderful in each detail.

I would like to consider myself the #1 fan of Pete Noonan's music...which is his...original music at its best. Pete's original songs dig deep at your soul and you can't help but to be pulled into his music. You can feel the power and persuasion of the melody and you are just left "ROCKED" by the passion and flow of his performance. Everyone that hears Pete's music is hooked. You can't help but to crank it up! Who would have thought Piano instrumentals could be this great????

Peter Noonan's work is simply amazing! 'Cafe' is simply wonderful. I highly recomend this CD to anyone looking to kick back and relax with your significant other, or pop this one in for your next dinner party! This truly supurb work makes a great choice for any occasion! Keep it coming Peter, we want more!
