Product information:
The final volume in the Peter Jacobs Anthology series presents further insight into the more obscure corners of the British piano repertoire. Featured are unfamiliar composers like Walter Allum, William J Fenney and Calum MacDonald, alongside the better-known figures of Granville Bantock and Ronald Stevenson. At the heart of the recital is Robert Simpson’s substantial and virtuosic Variations and Finale on a theme of Haydn.
These live recordings date from the mid-1980s and are essential listening for those interested in piano music of the British Isles.
