5.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate Alkan, 19 Mar 2003
By A Customer
This is the ultimate alkan cd. Anyone wanting an introduction to his wonderful oeuvre should look no further. This is actually pretty much my favourite cd of all. I am a fan of all types of music, but i would say that fans of more aggressive and thrillingly dramatic music would be the ones to enjoy this the most. Extremely alive, emotional, dramatic , exciting , and diverse. THIS IS ALKAN!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, 22 Feb 2001
By Pip (Ireland) - See all my reviews
You just can't fault this performance. These are great romantic works for solo piano and if you want some fantastic music then get this CD. How Hamelin plays this music I don't know but he does it wonderfully.

5.0 out of 5 stars Titanic Performance of Astonishingly Rich Piano Works, 5 Nov 2009
By Scriabinmahler (Cambridge UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Hamelin plays these amazingly rich and original piano works with belief-defying dexterity and Titanic pianism. There are other pianists who recorded some of the works, but Hamelin is peerless in capturing the transcendental quality of Alkan's piano music by his incomparable musical mind and limitless technical resources. The more you listen, the more you discover in the kaleidoscopic complexity of each work.
