From album liner: "In Narada's 15-year history, no single instrument has more clearly expressd our musical vision than the piano. Its vast scope and orchestral capabilities have allowed it to encompass a sweeping vista of music endowed with the beauty and spirit that characterizes our wide ranging repertoire. Over the years — from David Lanz and Michael Jones to Bradley Joseph — Narada's music has found its most eloquent expression in the hands of highly gifted pianists."{{cite AV media notes |title=Grand Piano (Narada Anniversary Collection) |others=Various artists |year= 1997|type= CD liner|publisher= Narada|id=ND2-61062}}
