When Peter Jacobs embarked on these recordings of piano sonatas by Harold Truscott in September 1981, at St John’s Clerkenwell, they constituted the first commercial recordings ever made of Truscott’s music. In most cases, they remain the only performances the works have received. They appear here, for the first time, on CD.
