Product information:
Heritage presents the second volume of twentieth century British piano music, personally selected by Peter Jacobs. Peter has specialised in performing and recording British piano music for over 50 years and has been one of its foremost exponents. This CD has three large works at its heart, the little-known Rubbra Preludes from 1965, John Mayer’s captivating portrayal of Calcutta, Calcutta–Nagar, from 1993 and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Petite Suite de Concert which dates from 1916. The large works are interspersed with charming, and largely forgotten, piano miniatures from the likes of Greville Cooke, Cyril Scott, Cecil Armstrong Gibbs, Christopher Headington and Cecil Baumer.
This CD is an essential purchase for those interested in piano music of the British Isles.

‘Evidently this is music which Jacobs has long included in his repertoire, the performances exuding that combination of technical finesse allied to a probing insight as have long been hallmarks of his interpretations.’ Richard Whitehouse, Arcana FM

‘The performance – committed, enthusiastic and sympathetic – is aided by an outstanding recording. The succinct liner notes by the pianist give most of the information needed to enjoy this recital…………..This captivating second anthology of rarely heard British piano music is a fantastic addition to Peter Jacobs’s record catalogue. One hopes that there will be many more.’ John France, MusicWeb International
