Alkan: Grande Sonate, Op. 33/Trois Morceaux Dans Le Genre...

British pianist Mark Viner presents a recording of the towering 'Grande Sonate, Op. 33, 'Les quatre âges'' (in which Alkan musically describes the several stages of man's life in 4 movements, from exuberant youth to tragic old age), and the '3 Morceaux dans le genre pathétique', three highly original tone poems, one evoking the howling winter wind, one a love poem and the third 'Morte' evoking a haunted cemetery, uncannily pre-echoing Ravel's 'Le Gibet'.
