Pretty essential purchase for me, that is if his solo works are of the same level of lush romanticism as the PC.

"if his solo works are of the same level of lush romanticism as the PC"

I don't think they are. Besides the Sonata and Capriccio in B minor, I was disappointed with this release. Toccata Classics has its heart in the right place, but most of the world premiere recordings are juvenilia and trifles. The only major surprise is the Capriccio, which is a dramatic concert work of substance.

It's nice to have another recording of the Sonata, though, and Kenji Fujimura's performance rivals Mark Bebbington's.
