Devised by Karpeyev and Jeremy Barlow (who will celebrate his 60th year as a Savile member in 2020 and also provides informative booklet notes) the recital includes music for solo piano by 11 leading Savile members to chart the development of British music from late romanticism to modernism - and back again. Sam Pierce and Bradley Jones perform the two celebratory trumpet fanfares, by former Savilian Malcolm Arnold - his Savile Centenary Fanfare - and current Savile member, Julian Anderson - Fanfare: SC-GH composed for the sesquicentennial anniversary - that frame Karpeyev's recital. Among British luminaries featured are the composer-knights Edward Elgar (the lyrically atmospheric In Smyrna), William Walton (Façade's delightful, dancing 'Popular Song'), Malcolm Arnold (Variations on a Ukrainian Folk Song his most substantial work for solo piano) and Hubert Parry (the delicately antique Hands Across the Centuries Prelude). Other notable names include Roger Quilter, Herbert Howells, Arthur Benjamin, William Alwyn and Henry Balfour Gardiner. Two Irish dances by Dubliner Charles Villiers Stanford, the Romanian-born Francis Chagrin's Suite Roumaine and three Musical Portraits by American Virgil Thomson complete a fascinating portrait of the Savile Club's rich musical heritage. Located in London's Mayfair, the Savile Club was founded in 1868, it's motto - \"Sodalitas Convivium\" - translating as \"good fellowship and conviviality\". The Savile's informality has attracted a host of distinguished names from the arts and sciences, including composers not featured on this recording Sir Arthur Bliss, William Lloyd Webber and Bernard Hermann and 17 Nobel Prize winners, among them poets Rudyard Kipling and WB Yeats, and physicists Ernest Rutherford and John Cockcroft.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFanfare (Sc-Gh)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHands Across The Centuries: I.
