Celebrating 30 Years: The Wild Orchard Record Company.

This is the debut album from solo piano master Peter Noonan, and the reason the label was launched. Still a classic: Original music with a lush sound, romantic and stirring.

Peter Noonan has made his solo piano work some of the best-selling independent music in the country. Based in St. Louis, Peter has taken the dazzling music of his “Cafe at Arles” and other recordings to audiences all over the country. An original vision of instrumental music.

New Progressive Music Journal wrote that Peter “composes piano music that paints memories and atmosphere with such beauties as Vincent van Gogh exhibited in his paintings…” St. Louis Magazine noted, “ the compact disc is no remake of George Winston’s seasons. It’s a driving, private memoir, blending nostalgia with the passion of the present. The piano dives, dips, hesitates, then plunges…”
