But the Nicolas Vallet pieces (tracks 8-11) have a distinctive European feel to them, perhaps owing to the fact that Vallet was French and settled in the Netherlands. The set of pieces from Joachim van den Hove are wonderful, and more than a little bit difficult. But Mr. Bailes playing is crisp, warm, and articulate, making them truly a delight to listen to.
