No, but I attended a soiree at his first wife's abode late last year, at which John Tilbury played some of his Beatles tableaux (as Dave Smith describes the arrangements). I do have John Bingham's recording of Beethoven's Diabelli and Op. 34 Variations, however.

fascinating to read up on him and really want to acquire some recordings. Looked a fine recital programme up in Sheffield.

I heard him in Edinburgh when he and the Medici Quartet did their 'Wood Magic' evening on the life of Elgar. Very fine music making. I'd recommend their disc of the Elgar Piano Quintet.
