You're obviously as sad as me, then...

Well, my copy of the CD has arrived from jpc and it turns out to be a lovely disc. The Piano Sonata in A minor of 1899 - Jenner having been Brahms' pupil - is, of course, very much in the same conservative idiom, but it is none the worse for that and is full of memorable music. I do recommend that pianophiles get hold of this recording...

A very late response, but I've just bought this CD and I can only echo Alan's words. Not only the Sonata is a very pleasant listen, but the other five works, especially the 3 Ballads, are also evidence that Jenner was a fine composer. Any comments on his recorded chamber works?
