Hymns & Meditations
One of Fernando Ortega's first albums and one of his most highly acclaimed, Hymns & Meditations revisits some of the world's favorite hymns in a beautiful and authentic recording.
With his outstanding piano skills and tender, intimate voice, Fernando breathes new life into the time-honored classics. This is, by far, one of Fernando Ortega's finest recordings and best selling albums to date...

Night Of Your Return
Most personal and authentic album of his career... When Fernando's inspiring original melodies are joined with the thought-provoking lyrics of Elaine Rubenstein, it results in a listening experience that truly touches the heart. In what has become Fernando's own award winning style, his soothing voice is beautifully augmented with a nine-foot Steinway grand piano, strings, Celtic harp, mandolin, occasional acoustic and electric guitar plus other wonderful textures! This is one of Fernando's BEST!

Meditations Of The Heart
This music resounds with feelings and memories rooted in the Spanish melodies of his grandfather as well as classical sources, folk-rock and early American church hymns. Fernando creates a peaceful and contemplative environment to encourage the meditations of your heart. All of the original piano solo performances are rendered in majestic simplicity by Fernando and are played on the warm strings and rich woods of a nine-foot Steinway grand piano.
