Ronald Smith (musician)

After leaving the academy he studied privately in Paris with Marguerite Long, while also taking an external BMus degree from Durham University.

When Fischer visited London he selected Smith and Denis Matthews to play the second and third piano parts in his recording of Bach's triple keyboard concerto.

[1] His recorded legacy encompasses pioneering performances of Alkan, including the complete studies in all the minor keys Op.

He then took auditions at the Kent School of Music (Canterbury) to select private students to whom he could donate his spare time.

They established a family home at Saltwood in Kent, in a large house which afforded space for a music studio.
