I think the label has been bought, and I don't remember by whom so i'm not sure if they changed the name, but Hyperion has released a LOT of cds with his music, as has Brilliant Classics (which I think released a box set?)
Damn I've never heard of this composer before you've been taking about him. Like 1-2 month ago me would've not known who this is lol. Thank you for sharing this with us! :D
You should definitely look into Alkan! He's very underrated but has found a lot of fame in modernity because of pianists like Hamelin, Maltempo, Jack Gibbons, and Ronald Smith. I have a video of his Concerto for Solo Piano which is arguably his most famous work. His Le Festin d'Esope is also very much worth checking out too :)

Alkan was so creative and innovative mainly in terms of structure, rythms and harmony!
Underrated set

The third one is so spectacular, the slow parts are so beautiful and the prestissimo parts are so earwormy and exciting, especially at 16:22 .
Great upload! People never talk about these
Wow this is an incredible discovery! Indeed all three are really "pleins de bravoure", and the playing as well. The part starting at 15:18... 😎👍
oh wow, the coda to that 3rd scherzo! Love it. I've heard it before, but I thought it had a title? Huh.
Similar to La Boite à musique of Severac at 3:03 but it's 70 years before
Oh cool, I've been hearing bout these for a while, but keep forgetting to check em out
12:08 that scared me
Ah shoot, something must’ve went wrong with encoding for this vid. Goddammit.
Alkan jumpscare be like:
Ok
upload ありがとうございます。
Harpsichord で弾いたら、どうなるか、ふと興味が湧きました。やっぱりピアノが良いですね(高音部が優しいので)。
聴いてみて、演奏が少し緊張しているかも知れません。
15:18

My ears feel beat to hell
