Description: Alkan's powerful, large-scale Sonate de Concert is a more than worthy chamber addition to the Alkan keyboard canon, this work in particular demonstrating just how far Beethovenian contrasts and oppositions can be pushed in the service of Alkan's particular brand of diabolical ingenuity. Alban Gerhardt (cello), Steven Osborne (piano).
