About
Adventurous piano music, ranging from the miniaturist to the gigantic, of the composer in whose presence even Franz Liszt was afraid to play.
Charles-Valentin Alkan, often called ‘the Berlioz of the piano’, was a mysterious, reclusive genius of the Romantic epoch, and will forever be linked in our imagination to Chopin and Liszt, both of whom caught the Parisian public’s attention to a greater extent than did Alkan.
Were they and their music perhaps more acceptable to the public due to the greater accessibility of many of their works, neither so uncompromisingly ‘difficult’ as Alkan can be in his music? These demands on the listener take the form of extending a musical idea to the limit of its development – often, in the most extreme cases, leaving the listener feeling as if he or she has been through a hurricane.
Both a modern Steinway and period Erard piano are used in this set.
