Review: Ronald Smith is the phenomenal pianist and scholar who risked Alkan from oblivion. This finger-blistering and breath-taking music, although not always given the most precise handeling by Smith, receives extremely poetic performances its supreme exponent. I am greatly indebted to APR for their superb transfering and annotation of these recordings which were previously inexplicably unavailable on disc in the United States. This is an essential purchase for both Alkan newcomers, and Alkan devotees (who should alreay have it). You'll never tire of these performances!
