What
Listeners are Saying...
"What a surreal experience this is. I have been listening to Whisperings for
about two weeks. A friend found it on Itunes. I just can not get enough so today
I subscribed to your service...to support you and to enjoy the benefits of the
paid service. I am so IN LOVE with this channel that it is the ONLY music I
listen to all day, every day. When I searched for a 'feedback button', I
was brought to tears when I read the comments from many of the other fans of
Whisperings. Every letter said exactly what I was feeling and what I wanted to
say. It reminds me of the movie, "Close Encounters of the
Third Kind" where people from around the world were 'touched' by a
similar experience. You are providing a unique and spectacular experience for
listeners that takes my breathe away. What is it? I like piano music, but
listening to your station is so soothing, inspiring, calming and wonderful! All
I know is that I leave it on all day (even when I am gone) and as soon as I get
off the phone, I turn the volume up again. I have breakfast to you and go to
sleep with you. I want to hear you in my car and when I am out with friends.
Talk about 'connecting with the soul'... You have discovered and created a very
special place for people that brings me to tears. Thank you for being here and I
am so thankful that I decided to subscribe. Thank you Thank You Thank You. What
a gift. I will consider finding Whisperings as one of the special treats in my
life." - Dick
"I just want to give a thank you note for everyone who participated in providing this radio station. When I found
this station, I was so happy and amazed because the songs you selected really
touched my heart. I’m also a piano player (I don’t consider my self as a
professional player), I usually play two-three children songs to my one and only
daughter. So when I’m at the office and listen to this station,
the beautiful music you offer always makes me want to rush home and play my
piano along with my daughter. Love from Indonesia" -

"I have been enjoying your free stream for the past few weeks. I loved it so
much that I have registered today with Paypal, and have now been listening
to the Premium service all day! I wanted to congratulate you on such a
fantastic collection and service. Thank you very much, keep up the great
work!" - Chris
"I just wanted to let you know how much I’m enjoying the music at Whisperings Solo
Piano Radio. I work on an exuberant team in a collaborative office environment.
It’s wonderful, but sometimes I just need a little space to think. When it
all gets too loud, I put in my headphones and head over to Whisperings. You
turn my corner cube into a quiet corner office, complete with my very own
pianist playing softly in the corner. What luxury! Thank you for what feels like a private concert every
time. It is a delight to share in your talent." - Claire
"I don’t usually do this but felt led to thank you for Whisperings Radio on the internet.
I am currently going through what I would term the darkest days in my life. I
came across solo piano radio by accident and am hooked. It has provided me the
serenity to go to sleep at night and the peace to get through a day at work.
The music played also serves as a calming way to sit down and be alone with
God. Thank you for somehow putting together a collection of music that touches
my soul." - Charlotte
"I'm getting 'PureStream' and it's not just awesome, it's, it's, it's simply
incredible! I have a really
good set of speakers on my PC and believe me, I could listen to Whisperings
24/7. In fact, when I die, I want a wireless feed down to wherever I am, with a
long-life battery, so I can listen to PureStream Live365 Whisperings for the
rest of my life, or whatever. Great job, David...Whisperings is the greatest
sound the ear can experience!" - John
"Whisperings got me through a ridiculous deadline today. It was exactly what I needed - soothing, vocal-less, completely non-distracting to my conscious mind
and with a non-demanding rhythm for my subconscious to busy itself following.
Bless your ever-lovin' hearts for providing! I dropped a tip in your jar with
much gratitude." - Nicole
"I just wanted to let you know how much I love listening to this radio station while I study. I’m a graduate
medical student, and the background ambient piano music is just what I need.
I’m an amateur pianist too and am far from my piano back home, so having this
to listen to helps me get through these tough years. I also really appreciate
the occasional hymn mixed into the playlist. Perfect!" - Justin
"I don't normally e-mail a radio station, but your
station has touched me a
lot that I just have to say thank you for sharing the wonderful gift of music
to those who appreciate it. I'm 18, on my first year at university, and
people my age are normally not attracted to piano, instrumentals, and that
kind of genre. Upon stumbling on Whisperings in iTunes, however, I
quickly became attached to listening, and tried to listen to your station as
much as I can, whether I'm in the library studying, or taking a nap after
a long day's work. I love tuning in because it soothes me, especially during
those stressful days before exams, and gives me a sense of reassurance
and serenity. I'd like to thank the pianists and their wonderful
contribution to this art. I hope that they realize that there are a lot pf
people who value their work greatly. Keep up the good work, and thanks
again." - Kaye
"Your music is such a blessing in these chaotic times. Thank you for sharing it
with us. It makes our home (full of teenagers, cell phones, ringing doorbells
and barking dogs) a more tranquil place. We really like that you have some
familiar Christian music as a part of your program as well. I can think the
lyrics as I hear the music and that gives me peace as well." - Frances
"I've only recently come "on-line", after resisting it for all of my 52 years.
If I have to choose one highlight from this experience of only two weeks
old it would be my discovery of Whisperings. It all happened quite by accident
whilst exploring the wonders of Internet radio through iTunes. Whisperings has now become my station of choice when I come home after a day
of working for a supported housing project. The relaxing piano music unfailingly
transforms my day from a succession of endless stressful encounters into one of
infinite peacefulness. I'm quickly growing-up in the world of Whisperings. In the last half-hour of
loading Purestream (through iTunes), for me it's already topped the free
version; something I wouldn't have thought possible. I am so grateful for your project. Wherever you are in the world, there is
one household in Cheltenham, United Kingdom where your influence is paramount.
I'll monitor my useage and ensure my subscription matches financially the amount
of pleasure you are bringing into my home. Best wishes in all you do."
- Vince
"I
am a great admirer of the music you offer freely to us who live and
breathe piano music. I cannot describe how much I have recently been enjoying
all the widely varying talent you air via your radio. Being a devoted pianist
and more recently, composer, I both relate to the struggle of getting 'out
there,' and finding like minded musicians who appreciate this style of music. I
would not be and be becoming the pianist I am aspiring to be were it not for all
my classical training, but my true love in music lies in such soft, reflective,
soulful music as this. Through this music I find images and soft images
revealing themselves to me through the wavering notes and soft blending patterns
of the intricate chords used to bleed the composer's soul through his music.
Once again, thank you for being both a role model for a young pianist to look up
to, and also merely for the music you offer so freely." - Anonymous
"My 8 year old, (then 7) was suffering from nightmares on a
regular basis. Among the things I tried was forced air whitenoise to
music from my server to various internet radio stations. During those
attempts I discovered solopianoradio.com. His nightmares stopped the night I
first ran Whisperings while he slept. In the past year, I can't recount a single
nightmare. My signup for PureStream is as much to keep a promise I made to support those
sites I benefit from as soon as I was able. We do appreciate you."
- Doug
"I want you to know how much companionship
your music has brought into my life. My husband died in September and I
have a small graphic design/writing/editing business, so spend hours at the
computer. The house is sooo quiet now and I am always at a loss to figure
out how to find the music I want to buy, so Whisperings has given me both
the immediate gratification of surrounding myself with
consistently overwhelmingly beautiful music and a growing list of pianists
I want to support by buying CDs for myself and for others as
gifts. Just signed on for Whisperings Pure Stream to support the project
and will continue to share your website with friends. Thank you for
the beautiful gift of your music and the music of all the other pianists
featured on the site." - Jan
"Your
station is without a doubt one of the best (if not the best) on Live 365. You
have accomplished what is so essential to a great station: wide variety of music
that we aren’t tired of hearing. I listen to several genres (new age, rock,
classical, pop, British Invasion, etc), but even the good stations lack variety
and consistently good music. Please keep it up!" - Dennis
"What
a treasure to discover Solo Piano Radio. I simply
cannot get enough of it !! We have consultants
all over the United States and I have ranted
and raved over the last week to my colleagues
and employees. You can expect many more to discover
the incredible gift of your music in the next
few weeks. We spend a lot of time in front of
a computer and the music is so soothing, soft
and such a peaceful atmosphere to do our work." WOW
!! - Robert
"Just wanted to take a minute to let
you know what a terrific job you’ve done with Whisperings. I listen to it every
single day at the office while working and at home when relaxing in my sauna
and over dinner. Your choice of music is superb and Whisperings has become the
musical background of my life and the landscape on which memorable occasions
occur. Keep up the great work" - Gilles
"I just wished to say how much I appreciate whisperings. In this very
difficult time in my life it's often what helps me to pull through my days..."
- Emi
"I just wanted to drop you an email to express my great appreciation for
everything the people behind Whisperings do to bring this beautiful music
to us! I am a PureStream member, and despite it being a bit tricky to get
working on my Apple pc, I still feel it is the best money I spend each
month. Anytime I am having a rough day, or just need to focus, I tune in,
close my eyes, and am taken to a place where the music dances around me and
cuts through the craziness of everyday life. I've been able to discover so
much amazing music through this broadcast, and hope you are able to
continue this broadcast well into the future. Again, thank you so
much for this incredible broadcast" - Jonathan
"I have enjoyed the likes of David Lanz and
various other new age artists for quite some time but had relatively few pure
solo piano albums. A few months ago, however, I found myself longing for a type
of music that would be soothing yet interesting at critical times during our
hectic work days. I had tried various forms of music, including classical,
smooth jazz and traditional new age (ensemble) music and although these can be
quite soothing they also encompass pieces that are not, making for an uneven and
at times distracting listening experience. It was almost pure luck that I
stumbled on your site a few weeks ago but suffice it to say, I have tuned in
daily in the morning, at work and when I take a sauna. You made me realize that
new age piano is clearly the best vehicle for me during these times. Artists
such as yourself, David Lanz, and Greg Maroney are truly amazing! Thus far I
have purchased over 20 albums and plan to purchase many, many more in the
future." - Gilles
"Without
question the finest web music station. This
comes from a guy who spends the rest of his
time listening to the Jayhawks, Connells, Bodeens,
Jamie Cullum, Van Morrison…etc. I design and
build homes and spend endless hours behind a
cad screen. Your station, via iTunes, has increased
my abilty to focus and be productive tremendously!
Thank you!" - David
"I
listen to you all day while I work.......You help me touch
beyond, you soothe my broken heart, and bring me joy, nostalgia, love and
romance all in one. I will be supporting your station when I get paid for a
commission in march. Stay, on the air....you are healing
people." -
Syyd
"Thank you for your wonderful music...it is just
sublime. I lost my mother in 2003 and 7
months later my dad from cancer. When I am alone at night and listen to your station while I am on
my computer...I often weep thinking of the fond memories that your music brings
back to me. I think what artists do in our society is very much underestimated...unfortunately.
Anyhow....I simply wanted to express my gratitude. And please
remember that your work does make a difference in people lives." - Gilles
"I wanted to drop a note of thanks for providing
Whisperings over live365. Your station is my sole companionship through the
long hours of study and homework in the library here at my University. I have
always loved piano music such as this, not quite the classical Mozart or
Prokofiev, but a very pleasant easy to listen to type. I am sure my Chemistry
book receives less damage because I am listening to your station as I drudge.
Much thanks."- Jason
"I want to thank you for this station. My mother was a very talented pianist who probably gave up a
professional career to be a wife, mother, and a special education teacher. She
was a church organist for 47 (!!) years, as well as a piano teacher. Now she
languishes in a nursing home with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and after a stroke.
Music was like the air she breathed. Listening to your station takes me back to
my living room in Tenessee when my mother would play for hours, and I would
twirl and dance, pretending I was a ballerina (mind you, I had never seen a live
one!) but no matter. Now I have donated my
piano to the local Habitat for Humanity consignment store, and your station is
as close as i will ever get to a piano again!! Thank you, for daily striking
chords with both my soul and heart!" - Debbie
"Your station keeps getting better
and better. Great mix!! I’ll probably get fired from my job…I just can’t turn
your station off…keep waiting to hear the next
tune!! You are doing a great job…keep it
up!" - Dave
"I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate being able to listen
to your podcasts while I am working. I am 22 weeks pregnant and my
baby seems to really like your station in particular, and gets really
active when we listen in! From what I read, he is able to hear now,
so I am pretty sure he is letting me know that he enjoys it! It's a
wonderful thing to experience and I'm sure it is having a very
positive affect on his development...
Thank you again." -
