I certainy will.  I have an rather old LP, which I recently transferred
to CD, of his pianoconcerto and his concerto for two piano's, in which
Williamson plays one of the solo parts.  On the disc are also the two
epitaphs for Edith Sitwell.  I like these pieces very much, especially the
slow movements of the concertos.  If I remember well, the other pianist is
Gwynneth Pryor (I don't have the disc here at the office.
