A contemporary of Richard Wagner, Franz Liszt and Frédéric Chopin in the 19th century but mostly living in Paris and enjoying the life in the salons. From Nosrati's notes: Alkan's music is at times so unconventional and sarcastic that audiences may have experienced more irritation than enthusiasm. His style feeds on abrupt contrast; it features a great deal of counterpoint and is thus more akin to the so-called \"German School\" than to French salon music. Anyone who dares to explore Alkan's music more closely will be richly rewarded: these are works capable of displaying the utter extremes of the human condition: alongside one another: seriousness and humor, intellect and emotion, tradition and modernity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Alkan \/ Schaghajegh Nosrati","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40558073086023,"sku":"39591807","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3738121-2529207.jpg?v=1711109253","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/alkan-schaghajegh-nosrati-concerto-pour-piano-seul","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
