Charles-Valentin Alkan - Op.66, 11 Grands Préludes et 1 Transcription du Messie de Hændel

[@briansunday7099]

Performances on the pedal piano would have had better clarity/clearer articulation - something the composer himself preferred. Not sure of the recording itself - my first instinct is Kevin Boyer. This recording would then suffer the same problem his recording of op. 64 did - he had the mics at the pipe cabinet - best to mic the room. Furthermore, we know that Franck registered some of Alkan’s works from opp. 64 and 66; such registrations don’t appear to have been used - a pity, really.

The pedal part is indicated as 16’ in the score, which at least implies that they are perfectly legitimate to play on the organ.

Although I love the organ, I would like to hear these played on the pedal piano which they were written for.

You and me both :( I can tell you that Preludes No.3 and No.4 were recorded by Roberto Prosseda (searchable on my channel) and No.10 was recorded by Olivier Latry - on Alkan's own pedal-piano! th-cam.com/video/X4JC9iP6E0U/w-d-xo.html

10:50 Alkan being Alkan

I think it would be interesting to have the pedals be organ and the keys be piano.

[@kristaantenuccicomposer2113]

I saw something like that, but with harpsichord

[@stuartmclaren2402]

With the advances in digital pianos and organs it could be done
