Free Music Review: Jaw Dropping Composition, Astounding Performance
Hit: 5 Stars
Although I was raised on the romantic 19th-century piano works of Chopin, I was not prepared for Alkan, an essentially unknown composer whose obituary of 1888 in one paper said, "It was necessary for him to die in order to suspect his existence." For a period, he was a highly regarded concert performer and received praise from Liszt and Busoni; however, it is his compositions that interest us. The 50-minute Concerto for Solo Piano comprises three of Alkan's 12 studies. It is a tour de force of high technical difficulty and compositional innovation. At the end, I felt as if run over by a truck. Marc-Andr? Hamelin, who already floored me with his album, In A State of Jazz, is probably one of the very few who could succeed riding that lightning bolt. The remainder of this album is a group of Alkan's melodies influenced by Mendelsohn's Songs without Words. The chants allow us to recover from the previous fury. These brief pieces are pleasant and light while still demanding, each tightly structured and surprisingly unique. Thank you, Princes of Serendip, for leading me to this unexpected treasure.
