About this product
Any new recording of Charles-Valentin Alkan is an event, which hopes to widen the public appreciation of this still unknown genius of the French Romantic period. After his unsuccessful efforts at a brilliant concert career, Alkan went into reclusion, concentrating on teaching and composing his totally unique oeuvre mainly written for piano solo. One of the greatest virtuosos of his time (even Franz Liszt was nervous to play in his presence) he wrote piano music of the most colossal proportions, scope and difficulty. This new recording by the young and extraordinarily gifted young Italian Vincenzo Maltempo brings together two of Alkan masterworks The Grande Sonata InchLes Quatre AgesInch (in which Alkan musically describes the stages of a man's life, from exuberant youth to tragic old age), and the Symphonie pour piano solo, a dramatic four movement work in Classical/Romantic style. As an encore the fiendishly difficult Etude for two hands unisono, a pianistic tour de force. Album Tracks 1. 20 Ans (TRÈS Vite) 2. 30 Ans Quasi Faust (Assez Vite) 3. 40 Ans Un Heureux Ménage (Lentement) 4. 50 Ans Prométhée Enchaîné (Assez Lentement) 5. Allegro (Allegro Moderato) 6. Marche Funèbre (Andantino) 7. Menuet (Tempo Di Minuetto) 8. Finale (Presto) 9. Etude No. 3 Mouvement Semblable Et Perpetual

Flores de Musica pera o instrumento de tecla & harpa is the only known work of Portuguese composer Manuel Rodrigues Coelho. Printed in Lisbon in 1620 and boasting more than five hundred pages, Coelho's Flores de Musica is one of the largest music works printed in the seventeenth century. Celebrating the 400th anniversary of it's original publication, a new edition in three volumes has been published with the research being used to inform this major new recording series. Harpist and soprano Maria Bayley and clavichordist Marco Orsini-Brescia lend their artistry to this latest chapter in an ambitious recording project. Album Tracks 1.
