Not sure if he's recorded it though.... come to think..... he was a winner of the leeds. Robert probably saw him in concert too. He was here in NZ with the NZSO last year. He also played Rach/Pag variations, but i wasn't too impressed.

He played nr 3 also? I saw him live in the Queen Elisabeth Competition, where he played nr. 2, and won the competition also.
