The two minor "rather irritating" pieces are placed at the midway point. As encores they might work well enough in live concert and would be well deserved. Just occasionally Jaromir Klepac's generally discreet contributions sound a little constricted on top but the civility of the recital room is aptly conveyed in a well balanced recording.
