[hodi]

insane.

[jre58591]

this guy is totally insane. according to the liner notes of his complete alkan op 39, he gave an all alkan recital with the complete op 39, among others, and made it over 3.5 hours long, and when he was 17!!! even though i dont like his concerto or symphony very much, he still deserves respect for his accomplishments. he totally owns this etude, btw.

  Just heard him playing Chopin great stuff, also like his style of piano playing.

Allegro barbaro isn't a title but a piece indication exactly like : Allegro maestoso, Allegro con fuoco, Allegro molto ... etc. Allegro barbaro is just another of these.

Bartok's is weaker and less furious than Alkan's, and written over half a century later.
