The Alkan Piano Concerto is an orchestration by Karl Klindworth of the three Op. 39 Etudes referred to collectively by Alkan as 'Concerto' These are Etudes 8 to 10 of the Op. 39 set. In Alkan's lifetime the Concerto was never played complete and when it was played it was in excerpts. Thus the Portuguese virtuoso, Jose Vianna da Motta (whose symphony is available from PORTUGALSOM and has been reviewed on this site and whose piano concerto is soon to be released by Hyperion) performed the first movement in Berlin in 1903. Think of the orchestral treatment as an extension of Tchaikovsky's early symphonies (particularly No. 3) and add in a perpetually strenuous piano part typical of the high-flown romantic genre - rolling pearly runs of notes, clangorous heroism and gently reflective soliloquising. I find it difficult to say much more about the three concerti da camera. They are pretty much the same as the Concerto. The stand-out star here is the truly lovely andante con moto Concerto da Camera No. 3. Its thematic material bears quite a resemblance to the concentrated spell created by the less obviously demonstrative sections of Tchaikovsky's piano concerto. If you are looking for just over five minutes of ideally balanced mood music then look no further. The disc ends with the least impressive work: the first concerto da camera. It marks time pleasantly as if an epigone of Beethoven's first piano concerto.
This is a nice production all round and one that romantic era piano fanciers will have to have. Feofanov delights in music with which, going by his notes, he is in close sympathy. Naxos are surreptitiously building their own romantic piano concerto series to vie with Genesis, Vox's seven boxed sets and the de luxe Hyperion series.–Rob Barnett
