Just saw this listed on JPC - I don't know the pianist at all but the programme certainly looks interesting. I only one of these works in my collection (the von Bulow op27) and I'm not entirely sure that any of the others have been recorded before.

Here is a list of the contents:
Meyer-Olbersleben: Ballade op. 9
+Bendel: Dornröschen; Improvisation über das Wiegenlied von Johannes Brahms op. 141
+Klindworth: Polonaise-Fantaisie
+Reubke: Scherzo op. 3
+Bülow: Impromptu op. 27 "Lacerta"
+Bronsart: Fantasie op. 6
+Raff: Introduktion & Allegro scherzoso op. 87

Tantalising! The Raff is certainly a recording premiere.
