Alkan - Complete Etudes (Different performers)

[@duqueadriano0081]

Casually uploads 4 hours and 30 minutes of selected performances and edited scores

[@tomuinen]

and gets comments like ‘you forgot this piece’

[@thenameisgsarci]

"casually" yes... XD

[@michelangelorossi6665]

Love how Le Preux is so difficult, the only recording available is home made. Chapeau.

[@SeigneurReefShark]

There are other recordings but this is the best one by very far

[@snorefest1621]

@@SeigneurReefShark le divina played it live recently tho, but I still think Seong Yang Hwang's interpretation is more musical and laid back

[@edgarreitz7067]

Last year there was a professional live performance of this. its no pleasure to watch, but good performance and great music of course

[@epointerwinboie]

@@snorefest1621I don’t know, the speed that la divina plays it at makes it so much better for me

[@paul7606]

Probably the only pianist-composer that made Liszt nervous.

[@BlueberryYogurtSmoothieEnjoyer]

Allegro Barbaro's surprisingly refreshing

[@happypiano4810]

Thank you for this. I love Alkan’s music.

[@thenameisgsarci]

oh yeah mark viner has posted his interpretation of the etude sans opus :D

[@SeigneurReefShark]

Ohhh, did I miss it ? Thanks for pointing this out !

[@calebhu6383]

Contrapunctus is my favorite in the major set, it's a Bach two part invention in octaves lol.

[@graydusk1039]

it is really cool

[@PannenbergMusic]

I AM IN PIANO HEAVEN ON EARTH
On a more srs note, I can't thank you ENOUGH for this video :D

[@PannenbergMusic]

I just gotta add to this that I have the physical books of:
12 Minor Etudes
12 Major Etudes
Grande Sonate (Les Quatre Ages)
I truly am really a sheetmusic collector somehow lol

[@Giusepperinaldo]

What a video! Really really good job, thank you!

2:50:00~2:50:24 Beautiful.

[@s1earle]

Ronald Smith is certainly not the fastest with Alkan's music but he is the most musical by far, he is an authority on Alkan with his writing detailed books, complete recordings for the listening of the audience (pls see his 1970 shortening of the Op 39 Solo Concerto) etc. Applied to the above, his recording is the best.

[@EntelSidious_gamzeylmz]

oh this must have taken a lot of work

[@EntelSidious_gamzeylmz]

prob gonna listen to all of it lmao

[@hermannschaefer4777]

Chuck Norris used this as a warm-up before recording Sorabji's complete works.

Are there no human performances of the Etude sans opus in Am. Only one missing. But great vid, I love these all ❤️
edit: saw other comment, thank you 😊

[@ismaelcarlos7241]

Actually have

[@kyokusei]

doesn't Alkan also have 12 etudes for feet alone and at least one etude for pedalier (piano for hands and feet)?

[@SeigneurReefShark]

He does, but it's études for piano here

[@kyokusei]

@@SeigneurReefShark oh okay :) thank you for this btw

There isn't any good recording...

@@SeigneurReefShark what about midi 👀

[@SeigneurReefShark]

@@trvm1 Why would I upload midis ? They are not doing any justice to composers pieces, music is to be performed by humans

[@trvm1]

@@SeigneurReefShark oh, well great video anyway

[@WD_GX]

every1 forgets about 1 etude, etude WoO from "Encyclopédie du Pianiste Compositeur" by Pierre-Joseph Guillaume Zimmerman, i forgot another etude that u didn't put in this "Complete Etudes" by Alkan, which is Bourrée d'Auvergne, and also 3 andante romantique

[@benjaminravail5028]

as they are not originally named "etudes" they don't belong to that set
Eventhough I don't doubt that the technical difficulty must be outrageous

[@WD_GX]

@@benjaminravail5028 I guess you're right, but what about 12 for feets only?????

[@ustadspencertracy7195]

I prefer mccallum in op 35.

[@SeigneurReefShark]

I think both are great, but the recording quality is better with Viner.

My Opinion: Liszt>Chopin>Alkan>Thalberg>Brahms

[@ShutUpZewenThisIsNotBased]

Bruhms 🤢

[@AlkanLove]

アルカンはショパンやリストには無い対位法の適性者で、リストよりもピアノに置ける交響的表現はアルカンの方が全体的に見て完成度が高い印象があるので作曲家としてはアルカンに軍配が上がります、そしてその音楽はかなり親しい仲であったショパンも一流と認めています。

[@AlkanLove]

※交響的表現の完成度が高い←とはその表現でもピアノだけで満足出来ますが、その逆はピアノではなくオーケストラに書き換えた方が良いのではと感じさせる曲と言うことです。
私が感じる完成度が低い一例を出すとそれはリストのダンテソナタです、この曲は中盤からピアノでも満足が行く所があるので、私のアイディアではオーケストラに書き換えるならピアノ協奏曲としてではなく、サンサーンスの交響曲3番みたいなイメージで途中からピアノも参加する方が良いと思っています。
