The guy's got chops, no question about it! Sometimes, this tempts him to excesses of speed where the phrase "more speed than sense" comes to mind, but overall, I have a favorable impression of his playing. I also feel that the engineering (of the solo album I have) is just a bit on the shallow side for a modern recording these days.
Since the new album you linked to doesn't yet seem to be on Spotify (touché, ivan303!), all I could do was to listen to some of the brief excerpts in your link (everything except the Granados, Albeniz and Gould). It all sounds good to me (nothing that I would object to anyway), and I might spring for it if a hi-rez incarnation becomes available.
