VINER,MARK - Alkan: 25 Preludes,Dans Touse les Tons, Majeurs et Mineurs Op. 31 (Sealed) (CD)

This is the second part of an impressive and extraordinarily extensive recording project: the recording of all of Alkan's piano works with the British pianist Mark Viner. Alkan's preludes are far removed from his more famous, highly virtuosic etudes. The preludes are mostly contemplative and range in mood from dark, dark and surreal to innocent and childishly happy.
