Peter Jacobs has been played on NTS shows including SIGOURNEY, with Automne No 2 Of Études De Concert Op 35 first played on 16 July 2025.

Peter Jacobs has etched out a career built largely on the performance of works by lesser-known and neglected English and French composers of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In fact, some of the composers championed by the energetic and courageous Jacobs might better be described as little known or virtual unknowns to most listeners: Henry Balfour Gardiner, Alan Bush, John Foulds, Billy Mayerl, Benjamin Dale, Betty Roe, and Trevor Hold. He is also associated with music by familiar names -- Vaughan Williams and Frank Bridge, for instance. But this pair are hardly famous for their keyboard music, and thus, performance of their piano works even entails a measure of risk. Jacobs' recital programs have often included works by more mainstream composers, such as Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, and Poulenc, but he has rarely recorded anything in the standard repertory, some Fauré works excepted. Jacobs has made numerous recordings for several labels, including Hyperion, Olympia, Continuum, Priory Records UK, and Altarus.
