Several absurd piano works from Charles-Valentin Alkan (1813-1888)[click here to download], played by another hyphenated three-namer, the great Marc-André Hamelin. Extraordinary, sometimes horrible music. As the story goes, the erudite Alkan was crushed to death by an overflowing bookcase. Surely a noble way to go.
1-4. Grande Sonate 'Les Quatre Ages.' 5-8. Sonatine. 9. Barcarolle. 10. Le Festin D'Esope.
