First things first, this Naxos CD is a re-issue of a Marco Polo title Alkan: Chamber Music that originally came out in 1992; the Naxos version is identical in every respect (except the cover, of course!)and is far less expensive. Where does one start with Alkan?
Born in 1813, he was a child prodigy and by his mid-twenties was already acclaimed as a great virtuoso pianist, in competition with Liszt and Thalberg. Then, out of the blue, he withdrew from public life, excepting random and infrequent appearances. Who knows, had the technology existed at the time he might have been the nineteenth century version of Glenn Gould! He lived on until 1888, when he was crushed (so the story goes) by his bookcase when reaching for the Talmud. Apart from keeping a parrot and adopting some eccentricities, Alkan wrote some very difficult piano music that few have played in concert, although there are plenty of good CDs out there; try Smith on EMI Alkan - Piano Music for starters.
Here we have all three of his chamber works, played by "Trio Alkan". Sort of Chopin/Liszt with added dissonance, I rather like these works and they are worth a listen at Naxos price. First we have the Grand Duo concertant in F sharp minor. This has three movements, with the central one named "Hell", and is for violin and piano.
Then we have the Sonate de concert in E major for cello and piano (with a lovely allegrettino), and finally the Trio in G minor. All three of these works are far less complex than much of Alkan's solo piano works and all are well-crafted. A slightly more adventurous musical companion to Chopin and Tchaikovsky. Well-worth getting to know.
The recording is fine, as are the performances and booklet notes. Recommended for those travelling off the beaten path.

neglected but wonderful

This is some absolutlely wonderful chamber music. Alkan's trio is probably the greatest trio ever composed. He's every bit as inventive here as he is with his piano music.
