Enchanted Piano is the ninth studio album from American new-age pianist Kevin Kern, and his tenth overall (excluding territory-exclusive albums). As with his preceding and succeeding albums, it is an album of instrumental songs. It was released on January 17, 2012.[2]
Unlike Kern's past albums, this album breaks away from his other in the way that it is recorded solely on the piano; as such, there are no other instruments whatsoever on the album. In addition to this, these songs are re-recorded versions of past Kern compositions that appeared on his previous albums; none of the songs here are new.
None of the songs from In My Life (1999), The Winding Path (2003), or Endless Blue Sky (2009) were re-recorded for this album.

Liner Notes
Over the years, you, my fans, have told me your stories about how my music has become a part of your lives. From the young aspiring pianist learning to play "Through the Arbor," to the bride walking down the aisle to "Sundial Dreams", or to the cancer survivor who drew strength from listening to "A Gentle Whisper" while enduring chemotherapy, each of your stories has profoundly touched and inspired me. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined the impact my music would have on so many people around the world. I want you to know that I am deeply humbled and thankful for what you have brought to my life.
So this is my gift to each of you, a collection of the special songs you have loved best - on the instrument I love most.
