If you like piano that sings to your heart while sustaining your soul, chances are you will love this CD. I had the incredible good fortune of hearing Alex play pieces from it live one Christmas season day in a shopping mall venue with incredible acoustics, and hearing them brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. And his play here is no less captivating, with its heartfilled softly frolicking melody, soulful bass foundations, and quietly celebratory twinings, all wrapped in warm studio hall acoustics. Enjoy!

I heard Alex Grant giving a free open-air concert in Phoenix, Arizona, while I was there killing time before a job interview in 2001. I've never been a big fan of piano instrumental, but I absolutely love Alex's music. I listen to Evening's Last Light often as background music while studying. I highly recommend this to anyone with an ear for classical piano or new converts. Thanks, Alex if you read this.

Another outstanding recording of a very talented pianist. This CD is another example of the incredibly talented Alex Grant and uplifting and lively as usual.

I was browsing in a bookstore in Mesa, AZ in 1995 when Alex was there playing music from this CD. I listened for a while, and thought "He's REALLY good" and left without purchasing the CD. (I didn't own a CD player---I only had a cassette player back then!) After weeks of having 2 or 3 of his tunes bouncing around in my head, I broke down and purchased a portable CD player (thus marking my entrance into the "digital age" of music),and tracked down his CD in a local store.

I've probably played that CD more than any other I've owned. I still listen to it from time to time, and it still makes me feel good. If you love classical piano, instrumental piano, or new age piano, I can't imagine that you wouldn't enjoy Alex's music as well.

I've bumped into Alex Grant twice around Phoenix, AZ, and have always been stunned by how beautiful his music is. I bought this album directly from him (and also Metaphor, which is also gorgeous) and listen to it whenever I need to relax. It's good music for writing to also. It relaxes you and gives those creative juices a chance to flow. Even my cat loves it. I can't get her out of my lap when it's playing. She's purring as I write this. Every track on this album (and Metaphor, too) is a joy, and I'm looking forward to receiving the other two albums that I just found on Amazon within the next week or so.

"Falling in" is my favorite. All of the tracks are all beautiful, but something about this song realy gets to me. It's also what he was playing in the bookstore that made me stop, transfixed, and listen. Well, I guess it's the song that made me fall in to the music. Sorry about the pun, but that's exactly what happened. I hope Alex doesn't stop at 4 albums.
