5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant music, great playing, 13 Feb 2009
By Benjamin Bass (Coventry, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent find for the newcomer to Alkan. As well as the complete minor key etudes, there are a selection of great other pieces (seach 'allegro barbaro gibbons' on youtube - that's on here) that really round off the collection.

The piano sound is fairly bright, but that is a good thing here; the strings of fast staccato notes come across very clearly. Sound quality is excellent.

I still prefer the solo concerto by Hamelin, but this is a better value selection, and is simply brilliant, really.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jaw-dropping!, 22 Nov 2002
Gibbons possess a rare and wonderful gift that brings the music of Alkan alive! His technical brilliance, and virtuosic skill are obvious, and at times one listens to the crystal clear execution of the music and wonders, "How is playing that with just two hands?!" Jaw-dropping! This CD is a treasure and should be part of every music lovers collection! Go on... buy it!
