Alkan's gargatuan Op. 39 Etudes embody a symphony (Etudes 4-7), a solo concertos (Etudes 8-10), an overture (No. 11), and a riotous set of 25 variations depicting the animals of Aesop's fables (No. 12, La festin d'Esope). The music demands boundless technique and stamina, which Jack Gibbons supplies in spades. He dives headfirst into the treacherous writing, letting the chips fall where they may. One can't really top Marc-Andre Hamelin's unflappable proficiency in the concertos, yet Gibbons rougher, leonine demeanor thrusts Alkan's Dionysiac qualities more to the fore. Bet you can't digest this yummy 12-plus course piano feast all in one sitting! --Dan Davis

Customer Reviews:

The embodiment of FURY.......2004-09-24

Gibbons' occasional technical vulnerabilities give these performances a human edge missing from hamelin's recordings. Alkan's op39 is music the pianist must fight with. Blood and sweat are a must. Its raw fury can be lost when cooly presented (ala Hamelin). The symphony finale oozes raw excitement under Gibbons' hands. Like in a disaster movie, we root for the protagonist and hope he survives through to the end. A most rewarding experience.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Completely over the top!.......2003-08-04

The main differences between this recording and the only other complete recording of the minor key etudes by Ronald Smith are:

1. Superior sound
2. A virtuosity that must be heard to be believed. Gibbons plays fast, Gibbons plays loud, Gibbons plays soft, Gibbons plays all the notes, and all the while Gibbons plays them musically! A truly remarkable performance of some very complex music.

But the recording by Smith has much going for it too. In an ideal world, if you're a fan of Alkan, get both recordings. I've got them both!

Good alternative........2002-11-02

It's a good alternative to Hamelin's recordings. With a really wilder approach!!

(No title)........2000-12-15

Comme Le Vent, Like the wind, is a firey, unrelenting deluge of notes which, if played at Alkan's specified metronome marking, travels at the rate of 160 bars per minute -- 20 densely packed pages in just 4'30," and Gibbons falls unbelievably only 7 seconds short! En Rhythm Molossique and Scherzo Diabolico, both technically wicked compositions, receive commanding and sure-footed performances. The Symphony further demonstates Gibbons proficiency in adherence to tempo and metronome markings inspite of taxing athletic and visceral demands, giving it a great sense of impetus, space, and drive. The Concerto, in his hands, is less classical and crisp than Hamelin's, but more wildly romantic; an extraordinary feat of virtuosity. Le festin d'Esope and Allegro Barbaro in all their fiendish and barbaric virtuosity get very poetic readings, very rare indeed... The more slow pieces all fall within the heartbeat, receiving sensitive, simple, and atmospheric performances... Gibbons is an Alkan interpreter of exceptional authority, and I cannot wait until his next release (of anything). In excellent sound, this very generous two-CD set is a TOP recommendation!

An incredible recording! Gibbons' Alkan is superb!.......1999-09-04

Alkan's Magnum Opus (39) has been seen recorded many times over the past years in part, as well as in whole. Jack Gibbons demonstrates that his interpretation of this monstrously challenging set stands at the very top of the list. Out of the 250+ CDs I own, I would have to say that this is the best. Gibbons' "Comme le Vent" is breathtakingly virtuostic and full of velocity. His "En Rythm Molossique" is a great wall of power and control, his "Scherzo Diabolique", feindish and scary. This recording of the "Symphonie" is fantastic, second only to Lewenthal's. His "Concerto" is very ordered, the finale a dazzling display of pianism (despite the missed note in the final black-key run). The "Ouverture" is the best recorded yet, and shows the true depth of Alkan's creations; I could write a review on just this piece! His "Festin" is a bit slow, but he never overexagerates the tempos. The other pieces added to the first disc ruin one's picture of the all-out-bravura crazed Alkan, replacing it with a sensitive, profound one. This CD is truly incredible. If you have any affection for Art Music whatsoever, this recording is a must have!

Product Description

Reclaiming is a goddess-focused tradition that brings together earth-based spirituality and direct political, ecological, and social action. This versatile recording, produced in 1994, has many chants and songs from Reclaiming's classes, summer intensives, and rituals. These chants are useful for rituals, classes, and ceremonies. Most are easy to learn and sing along. The songs touch on themes of goddess spirituality, ecology, commitment, personal empowerment, and more. All lyrics included. This CD is musically varied, with a host of instruments (more so than Reclaiming's first "Chants" CD, also available on Amazon.com).

Earth-Based Chants and Songs.......2005-10-09

Fifteen songs and chants for the Goddess and the Earth. Not the sort of music you find at Tower Records. They're not all winners, but there are enough to make this a very good CD. "When We Are Gone" is transcendent. "Harvest Chant" gets sung in Fall Equinox rituals.

One special note: "Barge of Heaven" - a modern call-response arrangement of an ancient Sumerian text - is incredibly catchy. That someone could make an ancient Sumerian poem into a hummable pop song is by itself a good reason to listen to this unusual CD.

Reclaiming, which produced this CD, has another Chant CD -- "Chants" -- which has more chants for rituals and classes. But I'm betting that you'll listen to "Second Chants" more in the long run.

A dissapointing follow-up..........2005-06-01

'Second Chants' is a sequel to Reclaiming's original collection, simply titled 'Chants'. Where the first provided some great and inspiring pieces meant to be learned and used in circle, 'Second Chants' feels flat and uninspired. While one or two tracks are enjoyable, overall I felt let-down by this piece preferring instead to return to the original album for inspiration. I say buy 'Chants' instead and wait to see if they release a better third installment in the series.

Different chants; beautifully preformed.......2002-03-09

The first cd Chants:Ritual Music of the Reclaiming, the coven of Starhawk, includes basic wicca chants.
This follow-up, with the 'orginal' title: Second Chants, has all kind of chanting. Solo, a capella, gospel with cello, guitar, djembe a.o.
The booklet includes all 15 lyrics to the chants. From the playlist: Rhiannon, Sparks, Powerful song, Harvest Chant, Inanna, Return to the Goddess,a.o.
Personally I like the song "when we are gone" Reclaiming brings warm chants, nice to listen en learn. You don't have to be afraid to sing along.

Melissa Phillippe is Awesome! It's so great to be able to hear uplifting and inspiring music and hers is definitely that! I love this CD

Chants to Change Your Life.......2004-10-28

Second Chants is the perfect addition to any Positive Music collection. By allowing the listener to learn the chant on the first track and then sharing the instrumental version on the next, Melissa creates a safe environment for the listener to find their own voice, therefore allowing the chant to settle in on a deeper level. I Am Remembering is beautifully done as a round with friends. You Are Not Alone is hauntingly beautiful and stirs the soul.

Discovering Alkan.......2001-11-06

Many years ago, as I understand the story, Ray Lewenthal was in New York City's Central Park when he was attacked by a mugger. He recovered, swore he'd never return to New York City ever, and moved to France to recouperate. While there, he made the happy discovery of some works by the eccentric French composer, Charles Valentin Alkan. The rest, as they say, is history.
My own discovery of Alkan happened when I was in college at the University of Vermont in the late 60's. A fellow music student had discovered a recording of Lewenthal playing Alkan and spent a great deal of time trying to convert the rest of us to a better understanding of Alkan. And so it was.
While I now delight in owning collections of Alkan's music performed by others, especially Hamelin, I believe that Lewenthal is the best of the bunch, and I couldn't be happier that these recordings have been reissued. I particularly wanted this one because it included Lewenthal's performance of the Hexameron, a work by Liszt, Thalberg, Czerny, Chopin ,etc., and is based on the principal that "anything you can play, I can play louder and faster." This whole CD, in fact, is pure fun from the opening of the eccentric Festival of Aesop to the final fiery conclusion of the Hexameron. Just keep telling yourself that a weird French composer who collected parrots can't be all bad.

The quintessential second-rate composer.......2001-02-04

The previous reviewer is right in everything except his or her rating. "Over-all enjoyable" is right. But it's not thoroughly enjoyable. The first couple of pieces ARE the best, and the Hexameron is interesting as a historical curiosity (and VERY hard to find on recordings), but after a couple of pieces, my mind starts wandering as it always does with this composer, no matter how talented the pianist who's playing him. Let's face it, folks: Alkan is a typically bombastic, boring 19th century romantic who just doesn't quite make it. And let's stop trying to promote a "revival." It just ain't gonna happen.

(No title).......2000-01-26

This disc was my introduction to Alkan.

From Alkan, I've gone to Busoni, Stevenson, Godowsky, Thalberg, and, most recently, Sorabji.

Being an Alkan-holic, I now have recordings from such pianists as Hamelin, Smith, Reach, Gibbons, McCallum, Feofanov, Martin, Ponti, Ringeissen, Ogdon, Petri, and Howard.

Coming full-circle, this disc is probably the best introduction to Alkan and Alkan-like-composition(s) and performance(s) out there. I would (and I do) recommend it to anybody and everybody, especially those who claim to be piano-philes, but somehow can't move beyond the Beethoven Moonlight Sonata.

The disc is more than affordable, the pianism is outstanding, the liner notes are detailed and anything but boring, the music is over-all very enjoyable, and the sound on the disc is spectacular, and increasingly so, in proportion to the volume at which it is played. -- You just can't go wrong with this disc.

Highlights: Track 1, track 2 (but most importantly the last last minute or so), track 7, and--most of the Hexameron, but in particular--track 19.
