Assuming you refer to the piano version, I find no one pianist perfect for
all of them.  An interesting CD set on VAI features 19 HR performed by 19
different pianists.  Most of the performances are outstanding.  I haven't
heard Leslie Howard's new Hyperion recording, but if it is like the rest of
his playing, I'd probably fall asleep within 5 minutes.
