Hmmm, intriguing. Sir Arthur Bliss if you don't mind BTW, and here's a review of a CD of it: https://www.fanfaremag.com/archive/articles/28_1/281318.BLISS_Piano_Cto.html .

Quite long, late-romantic with a dash of modernism; I'd try and get to see it given the opportunity.

Good to see that someone is playing something other than the usual Bra/Bee/Tchai etc.
