5. The Myths of Alkan - Jack Gibbons

  • The same could be said of Alkan, the French Jewish composer who lived next door to Chopin in Paris in the 1840s and whose own career as a pianist and composer ...

  • Describing someone as 'eccentric' tends to have the side effect of dehumanising them; thus Alkan began to be seen as a strange and even cold individual, whose impossibly difficult piano music was supposed to exhibit the same characteristics, and whose final demise was rather comical. In truth, Alkan was an intelligent, lively, humorous and warm person (all characteristics which feature strongly in his music) whose only crime seems to have been having a vivid imagination, and whose occasional eccentricities (mild when compared with the behaviour of other 'highly-strung' artistes!) stemmed mainly from his hypersensitive nature.

6. Alkan: Character Pieces & Grotesqueries - Brilliant Classics

  • This volume contains some of the most eccentric, iconic and bizarre works written by Alkan: the two “military” pieces Capriccio alla Soldatesca and Le Tambour ...

  • Mark Viner’s survey of the complete solo piano music of Alkan continues to turn up discoveries and reveal previously little-known or misunderstood sides of a protean figure in late French romanticism. Viner himself regards Alkan as ‘the most enigmatic figure in the history of music as a whole’. The sixth volume of his survey focuses not on the grand cycles which have won this series such uniformly glowing reviews, but on sketches and miniatures which demonstrate Alkan’s capacity to charm as well as astound and dazzle his listeners. All these pieces are further illuminated, as before, by his own comprehensive booklet notes. Several of them will be unfamiliar to all except the most dedicated of Alkan connoisseurs. Jean qui pleure et Jean qui rit is a pair of two ‘chamber fugues’ inspired by Voltaire’s account of a man who goes, with great ease, from a state of depression in the morning to making merry in the evening. The Capriccio alla-soldatesca also has a poetic origin, as a paraphrase of an evocation of a night-watch – the subject of Rembrandt’s most famous canvas – by Joseph Christian von Zedlitz. Le Tambour bat aux champs is its companion piece, underpinned from the outset by a relentless ostinato of drum beats as a noble theme emerges, dignified and laconic. Better known, the Toccatina Op.75 can be counted among Alkan’s finest shorter pieces for the piano, demanding phenomenal dexterity and lightness of touch. At the other end of the expressive scale, Désir is a littl...
