He was a stalwart of numerous organisations and festivals, a friend of the greatest composers and a tireless advocate of British music. A Vice President of the British Music Society, Smith bequeathed a sum of money to facilitate this recording, which includes Robin Holloway's six-handed Grand Heroical March, Leslie Howard's Sullivan-inspired Ruddigore Fantasy, and Humphrey Searle's Sonata, described by The Times in 1951 as 'suffused with darkling, elegiac poetry and commanding thought'.\u003cp\u003eGrand Heroical March for six hands at one piano to mark the departure from Messrs Boosey and Hawkes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRuddigore | Fantaisie de concert pour piano opus 40 d'apres l'opera de Sullivan (Leslie Howard) - Le\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFantasy-Sonata: Hamlet - Piano Sonata Number 3 (Robert Matthew-Walker) - Mark Bebbington\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCome but keep thy wonted state from L'allegro ed il penseroso (Handel trans.
