5 out of 5 stars Definitive?.......2006-07-17

This version of the underappreciated work of Alkan should, in deference to Marc Andre Hamelin's amazing versions, should probably be the standard by which others are judged... in addition the album includes a great collection in one purchase.

5 out of 5 stars WELL worth getting........2006-05-19

This CD has what is still my favorite interpretation of Alkan's Concerto out of the three I've heard (although regrettably I haven't heard Jack Gibbons' version). Ogdon and Hamelin seem to kind of rush parts in order to impart a greater sense of technical bravura whereas Smith lets the power and majesty of the piece come through.
Also a great recording of the Alkan Symphonie. Hamelin's playing of the piece seems to have gotten all the attention but I find this one just right.
The prior two pieces would be reason enough to get any Alkan CD but this one is also loaded with a number of smaller gems, some of which it's probably going to be, what, twenty years before someone else makes a recording of any of them. The Petit Conte and Nocturne show Alkan's similarities to Chopin. The Toccatina is a delightful little piece with an awesome ending. Five great preludes, eight esquisses, etc. etc. - probably the best Alkan CD out there.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Remastering!.......2005-07-15

I own the original LP recordings of some of these works and the CD version. In a previous review I remarked how the CD sound quality was not the best, but adequate.

This remastering brings back much of the original vitality and great sound quality that was in the LP version but lacking in the CD version. And all at a bargain price too!

All Alkan (and Ronald Smith fans),don't hesitate to get this 2CD set. To have the symphony for piano and concerto in such fine quality sound again is a real treat for the ears.

Most highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars Exceptional Pianist/Inspirational Composer.......2004-09-03

Ronald Smith died on the 27 May 2004 a week before I was due to hear him perform in concert at the age of 82. Obviously I was incredibly upset by his death and not having ever heard him play - especially ALKAN.

Ronald Smith was the man who re-established Charles-Valentin Alkan as one of the greatest composers of piano music. Busoni claimed "Alkan, alongside Chopin, Liszt, Schumann and Brahms, was one of the five greatest composers for the piano since Beethoven".

Of particular interest here is Ronald Smiths recordings of the Solo Piano Concerto and Symphony for Solo Piano. These are some of the most extraordinary compositions in musical literature.

Ronald Smith's recordings are exceptional and in my mind can only be equalled technically by Marc-André Hamelin performances of Alkan. Yet with this said Ronald Smith was the only virtuoso pianist who truly understood Alkans philosophy of music - hence smith's book on Alkan - The Man The Music.

This album is highly recommended to all music and piano playing enthusiasts.
The music is innovative, passionate; but not sentimental and incredibly interesting in structure, colouring and philosophy.

    3 out of 5 stars Solid Collection of K.......2004-06-30

    Unfortunately, a lot of current Tonio K fans discovered him only after his mid 80s foray in to CCM and didn't know his blistering earlier work, nor that he has continued to turn out the music at a steady clip over the years since then.

    Yugoslavia is a wonderful core sample of the music he has made post-CCM. Though the production is nowhere near the same quality as that of T Bone Burnett on Romeo Unchained, it holds up nicely under its own weight. The production isn't slick, nor overbearing... maybe the production is simply adequate. This isn't a bad thing, however, because removing the slickness allows the real content of the music to come to the surface and, as always, the real content of Tonio K's work is the lyric.

    This album is a nice collection of songs that feel as though the writer knew in advance that the total number of people ever to hear them would be small... and simultaneously it appears that this didn't bother him. He wasn't writing for the masses to begin with. These songs feel very much as if he were writing for himself - for his own pleasure - and if you get to enjoy the songs too at a later date, well, all the more better.

    Don't expect this collection of tunes to feel at all like his early work, nor like Romeo Unchained. Yugoslavia stands by itself. Very listenable, very enjoyable, not as erudite as the critics pointed out years ago, but still passionate.

    4 out of 5 stars Beautiful........1999-11-02

    "Yugoslavia" is a hauntingly beautiful addition to the Tonio K catalog. I'm a fan of his late 80's work ("lost civilization..."), and this album revives a lot of the same tone and feeling. My favorite tracks, (Practically Invisible (!!!), I Know A Place) reveal a solemn introspection and spiritual tenderness that you don't often hear in pop music. This is good stuff! If you appreciate thoughtful, tenderly delivered music, with serious thematic content, you'll love the album.

    5 out of 5 stars Charles Valentin Alkan: "The Berlioz of piano".......2006-07-26

    The weird creative universe of Alkan, his well marked introspection as well as his febrile activity in which concerns the expressive possibilities of the piano, surrounded him of a sort of mysterious halo.

    His introspectiveness exerted on the audiences, caution, veiled admiration and a certain misgiving. His lyricism was not precisely direct. He faded into oblivion until the second half of the XX Century when Roland Smith, John Ogdon, Raymond Lewenthal, Michael Ponti, Bernard Ringeissen and lastly the renowned pianist Marc Andre Hamelin have really worried to make of him a better known composer, and judging by the nourished list of new recordings of Alkan, the result has been pretty fruitful.

    This album presents a set of interesting piano pieces, that it would be extremely advisable to take into account, in case you are a true musical archeologist, incessantly active for searching the enormous number of unknown Op. and treasures to find out.

    Laurent Martin is solvent pianist with a broad range of sonorities. Ringeissen is besides other untiring pianist always receptive to new sounds.

    Iron horse, Op. 27 is perhaps, the most astonishing and original piece of the album, plenty of suggestive sonorities and wild beauty.

    5 out of 5 stars (No title)........2000-12-15

    This is an excellent, excellent disc. However, the content is only selections duplicated from complete recorded performances previously available (in their entirety) on Marco Polo by Bernard Ringeissen and Laurent Martin... This is an excellent introduction to Alkan, no doubt, and the price is beautiful! However, you may be a little wary after buying this (which is basically a great hits compilation) to go for the more serious stuff available elsewhere... Most likely unnecessary purchases for Alkaholics.

    4 out of 5 stars Great value for money.......2000-10-06

    I'm not really a great fan of Naxos. I am, however, a great fan of romantic pianists, and since Alkan was one of the and the Naxos recording was the only one I could get...well, I had to buy it! And I'm glad I did. This recording is amazing! First of all, I was amazed by the many aspects in Alkans music, but even more so by the quality of the recording. Ever note stands out and is perfectly clear (well, as clear as can be when it's alkan we are talking about!). The two performers are obviously the right choice for this recording and it's a shame that I haven't heard of them before. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Alkans music, this is $6 well spend...just wait till you hear "The Railway", that is simply amazing, it's a wonder that anyone is actually playing like that! a really good cheap recording like this is hard to find, so do yourself a favour and buy it!

    5 out of 5 stars More gold from Gadfly's vaults.......2003-07-05

    Just like the liner notes say, "16 Tons Of Monkeys" was made for "the fun of it" and that is both a blessing and a curse for this disc. I gave it 5 stars as soon as I cranked "I Handle Snakes" up loud enough to get me evicted. Tonio is backed here by some of Austin's finest lounge lizards (Reese Winans on B-3 plus Bukka Allen on Piano? Sweeeeeet.)and despite the ad-hoc nature of the band, their sheer virtuosity yields moments of sublime genius. Guitarist Jerry Holmes pummels "Stop The Clock" and unloads a punishing flurry on the title track. Drummer Don Harvey and Bassist Scott Garber keep things going at a tidy pace, an amazing feat considering the mercurial nature of Tonio's music. My favorite part of the CD is when Tonio flubs the intro to "WhatA Way To Live." None of that Elvis 'stop the band and start over' stuff. Tonio just laughs and goes with it, a life lesson well learned.
    The two additional studio tracks are superfluous, but not without some charm.

    3 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2002-10-02

    After the first two cuts, this CD tapers off. The lyrics aren't that great, and the band sounds a little generic.

        5 out of 5 stars Splendid performances !.......2004-07-28

        Charels Valentin Alkan (The Berlioz of piano) has been one of the most underapreciated and even unknown composers of the XIX century . Certainly , besides his introspective character and hard temperament , he was a very meticulous composer and made of the piano his prima donna to express a big amount of piano music .
        I knew about Alkan in the seventies through the Etudes op. 39 and the scherzo diabolico performed for Michael Ponti .
        The Alkan sound in a first impression is extremely weird , but never lacks interest . The melodies are surrounded for mysterious efluvies and inspired moments , and many times the melody is interrupted for fortissimos who move the listener . In many aspects his tonal language demands from you all the possible atention , because it is not easy establish an inmediat rapport .
        But , in the other hand there are just a few gifted keyboardist who are capable of playing so difficult score .
        The list is very reduced : Raymond Lewenthal , Earl Wild , John Ogdon ,. Mark Hamelin , Ronald Smith , Michael Ponti and Bernard Rigneissen among the most remarkable .
        Ronald Smith is a great virtuosi , but also a sensitive performer . He is searching the real intention behind the score and his fingers give the accurate pulse to every piece . When you play Alkan , you must draw the music , due its impresionistic and descriptive character . Due the fact Alkan was a deep thinker and passionate reader , inmersed in spiritual , religious and mythological issues , his music owns this syncretism .
        Alkan has been considered as a simple composer of fireworks piano and obviously that 's a mistake . I can accept hat a part of his music can be listed under these terms but not in his majority .
        Acquire this CD and make the attempt to get close to this weird music . The challenge runs for you but you will be rewarded .
        Fortunately for us , Mark Hamelin one of the top pianists in the world includes Alkan ' s piano music in his personal repertoire . And that 's a good signal .

          Hello Dave's music is some of the best feel good music I ever heard - Do you like the sound of the Indigo Girls, Barenaked Ladies, and Dave Matthews? --- You'll love these guys.

          5 out of 5 stars Hello Dave Rocks!.......1999-06-30

          Hello Dave is a great band out of Chicago. Lead Singer Mike Himebaugh's voice is unmatched with passion and spirit for his tunes. If you like Freddy Jones and Poi Dog Pondering you'll love Hello Dave. Be sure to also check out the "West" CD.
