| 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.

| ENRICO CARUSO |
A new publication
Part I RECOLLECTIONS
(Emil Ledner trans. Eliot Levin) There are very many books about Caruso. Only four of them are original sources. "Recollections", the first, was by his European manager, Emil Ledner. It has been largely overlooked, perhaps because it is in German, but it repays attention for Ledner worked closely with Caruso, becoming both friend and confidante. His insights into Caruso, the artist and the man, are perceptive, interesting and scarcely touched on elsewere.
Part II RETROSPECTIVE (Stanley Henig) The second part of the book is in two sections: An essay on Caruso's significance in the history of operatic performance and an assessment of his recorded legacy, how it has survived, and a discussion of the published literature.
In appendices Hillier Wise comments on Caruso's cartoons and Stanley Henig and Eliot Levin discuss the transfer of records to modern media. Illustrations include caricatures by Caruso and photographs of him on stage, and with his family and friends. A number of these have not appeared before.

 The media publicity machine was invented for Patti and Patti became an industry; indeed, today Patti would rank with the pop-idols. But this should not obscure the fact that she was one of the greatest singers of her own or any era. The records, made when she was more or less retired, afford fascinating glimpses of her former greatness and insights into performing practices of her era. |

most, if not all of them first recordings, and one by an artist born within
living memory of Mozart's lifetime.
