Maurice Jacobson was regarded in his lifetime as a "musician extraordinary" such was his versatility as a composer, performer and music administrator. His works are fundamentally classicist, varying from the timeless austerity of The Lord is my shepherd, the popular accessibility of The Music Room and the virtuoso Carousal, to the concentrated and deeply felt Lament. The Theme and Variations is a rich and wide-ranging work originally written for large orchestra. These interpretations with the composer's pianist son Julian Jacobson reap the benefits of access to original manuscripts and an unparalleled intimacy with the composer's intentions.
