Our Take

Vincenzo Maltempo may not be a household name, but his latest album showcasing Alkan's Grande Sonate is guaranteed to shake up your classical music playlist. Maltempo's technical prowess and expressive interpretation breathe new life into these lesser-known works, reminding us why Alkan deserves more recognition.

From the thunderous opening chords to the delicate trills and runs, Maltempo navigates Alkan's intricate compositions with finesse and flair. His dynamic range is truly impressive, effortlessly shifting from intimate moments of introspection to grandiose flourishes that fill the room.

The standout track has to be the Allegro assai, where Maltempo's fingers fly across the keys in a whirlwind of virtuosity. The sheer speed and precision he displays are nothing short of awe-inspiring, leaving listeners on the edge of their seats.

In true Pitchfork fashion, we must mention the album's impeccable production quality. The recording captures every nuance of Maltempo's performance, allowing the listener to feel as though they are in the same room as this master pianist.

Overall, Vincenzo Maltempo's Alkan/Grande Sonate is a must-listen for classical music enthusiasts and newcomers alike. So, grab your headphones, sit back, and let Maltempo take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
