Grande Sonate Op.33/trois Morceaux / Dans Le Genre Pathet
C.V. Alkan
British pianist Mark Viner continues his Alkan project with a new recording of the towering Grande Sonate Op. 33 "Les quatre âges" (in which Alkan musically describes the several stages of Man's Life in 4 movements, from exuberant youth to tragic old age), and the "3 Morceaux dans le genre pathétique", three highly original tone poems, one evoking the howling winter wind, one a love poem and the third "Morte' evoking a haunted cemetery, uncannily pre-echoing Ravel's Le Gibet.
The booklet contains an excellent essay on Alkan and his works by the artist himself.
