This wonderful performance by Peitro Spada is a nice balance between the dramatic and the sensitive. His performance of powerful passages is, thankfully, understated so the piano does not crash unpleasantly. His lighter touch on the Choral Preludes is extremely nice making this recording very enjoyable and highly recommended. Acknowledgements: From the collectionof Jan Hanford.
