| Name: Alkan - Complete Piano duos and duets Vol I | |
 |
The piano works of Charles-Valentin Alkan (1813-88) are among the most demanding ever written - but they can also gleam with a fierce joy and twinkle with mischievous humour, so it's hardly surprising to find his works for piano duet bubbling with freewheeling energy. The two works for pedal piano - transcribed here for two pianos by Roger Smalley - show a more solemn side to this devoutly religious composer, though they, too, have their own charge of excitement and Alkan's trademark eccentric originality. |
