This is Vincenzo Maltempo’s 5-th Alkan CD, establishing himself not only as the Champion of Alkan’s music, but as a formidable musician, a pianist of extraordinary power, sensitivity and intellect. This Alkan recital presents some of Alkan’s quirky and eccentric works, not necessarily of epic proportions (like his 12 Etudes in the minor key Op. 39), but often on a small scale, concentrating manically on a single idea, creating a hallucinatory and mesmerising effect (or simply hilarious…). The title song, the Song of the Mad Woman on the Seashore, creates in just a few minutes and just a few notes a profound feeling of alienation. Other pieces on this fascinating disc are the Trois Petits Fantaisies Op 41, Le Tambour bat aux Champs, Laus Deo, Capriccio alla Soldatesca, Minuetto alla Tedesca.
Maltempo plays on a magnificent Érard Grand Piano from 1899, lending a special feeling of authenticity to his playing.

I must admit that I prefer the modern piano vs this Erard 1899, that sounds a bit as a Honky Tonky saloon piano. Maltempo's recordings of Alkan on the modern piano don't lack of authenticity in any way

[@colonelolrik4447]

Alkan est vraiment un compositeur obsédant ......

[@joseluislopez5191]

Yo no conocía a Alkan, pero me gusta lo impetuoso de su música que aplana y subyuga los sentimientos. Dificilísimo de interpretar salvando matices y el intérprete lo logra. Hace un siglo?

[@cybrfc5315]

I do not understand a lot about music. Can anyone tell me if the first piece was played in an upright piano?

[@vergil____5653]

Probably on a steinway concert grand model D

[@duck_fx]

Its and Erard, probably from 1840~60

Alkan was beyond eccentric He wrote 4 part fugues for the feet for a pedal piano that no longer gets made, as best I can find. However, he also wrote some truly spectacular music.. One of my favorites is one of the most difficult pieces for solo piano ever written. There are tons of attempts to perform it on the tube.. Some are spectacular.. others get close, and some fall flat. I did a quick search and found kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmaTaoN6epuFeas The performance in that video is a midi playback.. It's still spectacular.
