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\\u2014but it unquestionably requires performances of unceasing brilliance.\\r\u003cbr\u003eAlkan\\u2019s Concerto for solo piano is one of the great pianistic high-wire acts\\u2014an epic work which demands unprecedented levels of technical ability and physical stamina. It is conceived on a breathtakingly grand scale and is rich with both orchestral sonorities and lyrical pianistic passages. The Troisi\\xe8me recueil de chants is a delightful rarity, rescued here from oblivion by the wonderful Marc-Andre Hamelin, who with his transcendent technique is simply one of the greatest living performers of this intoxicating music.\u003cp\u003eAllegro Assai\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdagio\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllegretto Alla Barbaresca\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVivante\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEsprits Follets: Prestissimo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCanon: Assez Vivement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTempo Giusto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHorace Et Lydie: Vivacissimo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarcarolle: Assez Lentement\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55159400104321,"sku":"683573","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/61_MdZe8baL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767976225","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/683573","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
