That's my experience as well although I like the Harpsichord Concerto.

Have you heard Poulenc's Stabat Mater, Jeffrey? I think you'd enjoy it very much. It's one of his more "serious" works. ;)

Pounds the table! Lovely work, Jeffrey. I do urge you, however, to explore more of Martin's oeuvre.

Haven't you heard, John? Jeffrey has signed an binding contract stating that the only Martin piece he can listen to is In terra pax and the only Poulenc piece he can listen to is the Organ Concerto. :D

Side one from this live recording:



I particularly liked the Korte work (that's Oldrich F. Korte if you're curious to check out the composer).  It was written between 1951-'53 and is a two-movement sonata.  Also on Side 1, two works by a then young Josef Suk--both written when he was 19.  His Love Song (Op. 7, No. 1) and a Humoresque (Op. 7, No. 2).

"Fresh from the cleaners" here.  I also cleaned a LP of Chopin's Preludes of his. 

PD

EDIT:  The recordings were done on the 18-19th of December in 1984 at the House of Artists, Prague.

Listening to K424 -- the recording chosen pretty well at random on spotify, and it seems like a really lovely performance to me.

Arnold Bax symphony no. 4 with Nympholept Royal Scottish Orchestra  David Lloyd-Jones conducting
Both works are amongst Bax's finest IMO.
