His compositional style is a blend of West European classical and post
classical art music with the modern idioms of jazz and rock.

DICC 24058: Eight Concert Etudes (1984) / Sonata-Fantasy (1984)

Both performed by the composer himself.
Amongst his compositions are three concertos
for piano & orchestra (1961, 1974, 1985), a two-movement concerto for
orchestra (1980), a concertino for piano & orchestra (1957) and a concert rhapsody
for piano & orchestra (1976).
If you know where to find recordings of one or more of these concertos then please let me know as soon as possible!
