My favourite official rec iz his old Prok 8, Scrib 3 disc:

3 of my all time favourite works on this track list (including da Rach 23/4), from one of my top 5 pianiztz - I couldn’t ask for better, perzonally!

Pretty sure you can listen to this on spotify or wherever.

ohhh ya thats on there too…even better!

Really no mentions for his Schubert?
The Klavierstucke D946 were, for me, a sort of life-changing experience.
His Moments Musicaux are great stuff too.

He generally convinces me more in Baroque rep.

Heard him play D946 life. Unforgettable. Much more intense playing than anything else I had ever heard before.
