I don't think I've heard any other recordings, although I did see the
televised finals of the Leeds Piano Competition which he won (early 80s);
I was somewhat surprised at the time (Peter Donohoe came either 2nd or 3rd).

But basically I just don't think he has the technique for this music.  He
may be just dandy in other stuff.
