Instrumental praise recordings are commonplace in today's Christian marketplace and piano recordings have formed a fair part of these. The director of piano studies at America's Huntington University, Patricia Spedden is the chief contributor to this volume. Spedden has previously released an album 'Solo Piano' (2003) and now this release is one part of a series of praise recordings using classical instruments including the lute, harp and, of course, the piano. The difference from most other piano recordings is that this combines established praise hymns with classical pieces such as "Clair De Lune" (with "Wonderful Peace") and "Scherzo In B Minor Op 31" (with "Blessed Assurance"). The combination develops its own identity as one piece (no mean feat) and showcases Patricia's exemplary keyboard skills. This album is not just for soothing background music or a resource with which to chill after a hard day. Such is Patricia's delightfully sensitive musical skills that really, this album requires your full attention!
