All compositions by Kevin Kern.
Kevin's highly successful debut album, In the Enchanted Garden , has already garnered an appreciative following worldwide. His beautiful piano playing again captivates us, this time complemented by the exquisite oboe and English horn playing of Paul McCandless. With the simple elegance of a contemporary Chopin, Kevin's melodies effortlessly unfold glorious images of the enchantment which beckons from Beyond the Sundial.
