Title: Harold Truscott Piano Sonatas Post by: calyptorhynchus on April 03, 2014, 08:37:19 pm Someone has posted a YouTube video of Harold Truscott's Piano Sonatas 9, 13, 15. It is the Altarus disk of Peter Jacobs playing.
Pretty amazing stuff: that rare thing, piano music that doesn't suck. Title: Re: Harold Truscott Piano Sonatas Post by: guest2 on April 04, 2014, 12:55:43 am Thanks for that! Here's the link: http://youtu.be/CApY_vhnzr4 (http://youtu.be/CApY_vhnzr4) 542,036,670 bytes. Harold Truscott lived from 1914 to 1992. From Wikipedia: "Born into a working-class family in East London, Truscott was largely self-taught. By the age of 15 his strong native urge to compose was interpreted by his father as a sign of mental illness and, finding a psychiatrist to endorse this view, he had his son committed to an asylum. Truscott emerged after 20 weeks with his resolve undimmed." |
