Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

Anyone who regards Charles-Valentin Alkan as a pathetic joke--reputedly killed when his book case fell on him--should listen to Marc-André Hamelin's recording of Symphony for Solo Piano and think again. Scholarly, obsessed with his Jewish scriptures, and so reclusive that he would disappear from view for years at a time, Alkan was also a virtuoso pianist in the Lisztean mould. Liszt himself thought highly of him, which makes interesting sense of the fact that some of the pieces on this disc seem to adumbrate Liszt's own works. Others are clearly influenced by Chopin, whom Alkan inordinately admired. Schumann, on the other hand, was contemptuous of the Souvenirs which close this collection, and one can easily see why: the first is lachrymose mood-music, the second ("Le vent") a rather obvious nature-picture depending on chromatic runs, while the third cries out for Schumann's fancy to set it free. But the Symphony itself is noble, and the religious works that follow are imbued with palpable exaltation: Alkan translated the Bible, then destroyed his translation, but remained convinced that the whole book should be set to music. Hamelin's virtuosity is at its peak throughout. --Michael Church

5.0 out of 5 stars アルカンの真骨頂, 2007/2/28
By 榎○ (千葉県) - See all my reviews
このCDは、アルカンの重要な曲が多く含まれています。
1番から4番までの交響曲は、ピアノ一台でオーケストラを表現するという困難な課題をこなしている、アルカンの最高傑作です。とくに4番は、全音符＝96という現実感の無い速さの指定です。
アムランはこの異常に難しい曲を余裕を持って弾きこなしています。

5番、貧しき者の霊に救いあれ！
6番、アレルヤ
7番、バビロンの流れのほとりで
この三曲は、地味ですが、発想がこの時期(19世紀)の作曲家とはかけ離れていて、アルカンらしい曲です。

8番、わたしを愛して
9番、風
10番、死せる女
この三曲は、アルカンが初期に作った作品ですが、内容はきわめて悲劇的で、演奏技巧が非常に困難なものとなっています。
この三曲には演奏記号がまったく無いため、アムランが自身の判断によって弾いています。
アムランにしか弾くことのできない曲となっています。
アルカンとアムランが一体化した、すばらしい演奏です。

4.0 out of 5 stars たしかによかったでが・・・, 2004/2/28
内容ももりだくさんで、よかったのですが、
他のアルカンの曲に比べると、やや地味な曲がおおく、
初めてアルカンを聞かれる方にはお勧めできません。
しかし、あいかわらずアムランの技巧はさえていて、
音楽を楽しむことのできる一枚です。

5.0 out of 5 stars 超絶技巧なのにエレガント, 2009/11/19
By voodootalk - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
2000年8月29-31日、ロンドン、ヘンリー・ウッド・ホールで録音。ピアノはスタインウエイを使用している。

実は『ソロ・ピアノのための協奏曲』と『ソロ・ピアノのための交響曲』、この2つの曲はもともとはひとつの曲だ。作品39の第8番・第9番・第10番を『ソロ・ピアノのための協奏曲』。第4番から第7番を『ソロ・ピアノのための交響曲』と呼んでいるようだ。だから実際はここでの4曲の後に、『ソロ・ピアノのための協奏曲』の3曲が続くのが正しい配置なのだろう。そうなると、ぼくは好きな方の『ソロ・ピアノのための協奏曲』に合わせて是非ともこの曲もヤマハで弾いて欲しかったのが正直なところだ。

そうは言っても本当にアムランのアルカンは素晴らしい。5才でピアノを始めたアムランは薬剤師だった父からピアノを学んだようだ。父はピアニストとしても辣腕で、まだ幼い息子をアルカンやメトネルに導いたらしい。つまりアムランにとってアルカンを弾くというのは非常に日常的な普通のことだったようだ。うーん、すごい家庭だなぁ。

超絶技巧なのにエレガント。この時期のアムランのアルバムは傑作のオンパレードである。
