Englande's Gordon Jacob jellybeans (1895-1984)

[Scion7]

Today I received a correspondence from Dr. Geoff Ogram, from his forthcoming book, on Jacob's Piano Quartet (1969).
This excerpt looks very interesting!  The book should be a treat.

As the post makes clear, very little of Gordon Jacob's music is currently available on CD. For those who appreciate Vaughan Williams, Holst et al, I think his music has much to offer. Ken Russell even made a Monitor film about him (alas not as well known as Elgar or A Song of Summer!) which suggests his standing was somewhat greater in the past.

A good example of what he is capable of is here with this orchestral gem (not otherwise available on disc):
