| CHARLES-VALENTIN ALKAN (1813-1888) |
| Alkan was a leading piano virtuoso of the 19th century, indeed, when he heard him play Liszt went pale. Alkan's music includes some of the most powerful keyboard writing of his time. However, much of it is ferociously difficult to play, not because it is for virtuoso display, but because that is how he needs to express himself. For much of his life Alkan was a recluse and did nothing to promote his own work. Thus, after his death it was largely forgotten. It is thanks to the pioneering work of Raymond Lewenthal and Ronald Smith in the 1960s that Alkan is ever more widely known today. Nicholas King at the organ of St. Peter's Church, St. Albans.
