Thanks! Heard of him ages ago because of some works at Sibley and IMSLP, but be good to hear his music.

I managed to get the other recordings of his chamber music some years ago, that were issued by the Japanese Camerata label, and was certainly impressed with everything I have so far heard. So this release should be more than welcome!

I'm not sure if those CDs are still generally available but two of them have been uploaded in full to YouTube here (Piano Trio and Violin Sonata) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwvCLCi7Cx0&list=OLAK5uy_ketPTDrvCnBL_2V23XgEg_e2UQq1KzhAs) and here (Flute Sonata and Suite) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiZq8kq4N_k&list=OLAK5uy_nxuSKkovhHqNLu8eiVgxllnYpaNZ2wQJc). Tracks of the third CD (Cello Sonata, a Piano Trio "for young people" and other works) are scattered across YouTube but not grouped into one playlist, but it's available on Spotify here (https://open.spotify.com/album/5D0xcD25CfNqIOaMQKMCs9).

Thanks!! Some of those works are definitely among the works I remember seeing the scores of. Out of curiosity has any of his organ music been recorded too?

Weird though not unprecedented that the sextet in E-flat major in 4 movements has the same op.# as the suite for flute in D minor in 3 movements (Op.16)... (edit: oh, op.28, not 26...)
