Nicknamed the Berlioz of the Piano, composer and pianist Charles Valentin Alkan composed his Trois morceaux in 1837. Strikingly modern in outlook they are a massive undertaking for any contemporary player but hugely rewarding for both musician and audience alike. The first two movements are impassioned and rhapsodic while the final piece of the set includes a quote from the famous Dies Irae.
