Pianoforte Opus 6: Finale — Christopher Peacock

This CD is no longer available, please visit one of our downloading and streaming sites:

The “Finale” in our solo piano series of popular music by Christopher Peacock and Eric Daub.

I have had the privilege of performing at Rosario Resort on Orcas Island in the Pacific Northwest for many years. Overlooking distant shores, towering evergreen trees, and shimmering water, I play some of the world’s most beautiful melodies in the historic Moran Mansion. “Pianoforte” began as a simple recording to fulfill the requests of hotel guests who wanted a recording of the popular music I performed. One album turned into a series of albums (with the help of my good friend Eric Daub) and the response to the series has been overwhelming . . . Thank You! I have decided to end the series at Opus 6, hence the “Finale.” This does not mean I will stop recording popular music, but simply offer new and unique albums in the future . . .
