I just saw on Facebook that Lucas Debargue will perform Alkan’s concerto for solo piano. Very interesting!
" Lucas is bringing 29, October to Toronto Koerner Hall a NEW exciting PROGRAM. Among others, he is playing “Concert for solo piano” by Charles-Valentin Alkan, cryptic French romantic composer and pianist. About “Concert for solo piano” is said: "The style and form of the music take on a monumental quality - rich, thickly set textures and harmonies, conjure up the sound world of a whole orchestra and tax the performer, both physically and mentally, to the limit.”
he played only da firzt mvmt, explaining da whole zheeyat waz too long to fit in a prog part
