It's really refreshing to have a live interview with the pianist. Delighted this has been initiated. Kudos to Bradley and great appreciation to Mark and Pieter at Piano Classics for bringing this huge project to realisation.
Alkan just keeps on giving. Thank goodness for Mark Viner!
Thankyou for this! I love the in-depth commentary! Alkan's lesser known works are a constant marvel, he was never generic and always individual. The emotional value of his music is especially unique - he expresses rather unusual, idiosyncratic and eccentric feelings that aren't really explored by other composers at the time.
This interview is great!
Great content!
I would really love to see a rendition of Alkan’s Rondo Brillant Op. 4. It’s a masterpiece, and there’s currently only one poor quality recording in existence on UA-cam.
After the release of volume 6 ("Character Pieces & Grotesqueries") in November 2023, next up will be Mark Viner's recordings of Alkan juvenilia, including Op. 4.
