Our Take

MARC-what?! Oh, Alkan, you tricky little devil, pulling us in with your enigmatic name and then smacking us across the face with your thunderous piano concerto. Marc-Andre Hamelin takes on this beast of a piece with the finesse of a tightrope walker and the power of a sledgehammer. From the ominous opening chords to the frenzied finale, Hamelin's fingers dance across the keys with the precision of a surgeon and the passion of a true artist.

But let's not forget the solo piano works that round out this album. Alkan's Troiseme Sonata is a whirlwind of virtuosity and emotion, with Hamelin navigating its treacherous waters with ease. Each thunderous octave, each delicate trill, is executed with the mastery of a true maestro.

Overall, this album is a tour de force of piano playing, showcasing Hamelin's incredible talent and Alkan's underrated genius. It's a rollercoaster ride of emotions, from heart-stopping excitement to poignant introspection. So buckle up, dear readers, and prepare to be blown away by the musical fireworks on display here. Trust me, you won't want to miss this one.
