Alkan was one of the greatest composer-pianists in history, with a voice as original as Chopin or Liszt, and a technique that even Liszt admitted was the greatest he had ever known. His music is of surpassing difficulty and fell into relative obscurity in an age where published music was frequently aimed at amateurs. Its greatness is undeniable - but it unquestionably requires performances of unceasing brilliance.
