Ian Hobson - Truscott: Piano Music Vol 1

Harold Truscott (1914-92) enjoyed a reputation as one of Britain's most perceptive writers on music, a doughty champion of many neglected composers who have now become familiar figures.Truscott himself was a composer of some stature, writing in an individual style that is rooted in Beethoven and Schubert but also absorbs the influences of Nielsen, Medtner and Hindemith.This is the first CD in a series which will present his substantial corpus of piano music.
