Description

Alkan - Organ Works in 2 CDs - Kevin Bowyer (APE)

Not my rip. I'm just the postman )
This an ongoing release by the fine label Toccata Classics, planned to fill 3 CDs. Two of them are already available.
Unfortunately, I have only front covers for both CDs. It would be interesting to have the complete booklets, since many of these recordings are world premieres.
Anyway, the sleeve notes for CD2 are included here in text format.

ALKAN, Charles-Valentin (1813–1888)
Organ Works - Volume 1
Kevin Bowyer
Organ of Blackburn Cathedral

Label: Toccata Classics
Catalogue Number: TOCC0030
Release Date: 02 May 2005
EAN: 5060113440303

Duration: 76:20

In the last three decades the staggeringly original piano music of Charles-Valentin Alkan (1813–1888) has emerged from the darkness that had surrounded it over the past century and now it features regularly in the repertoire of some of today's best young pianists. But Alkan's organ music – no less powerful and imaginative – has yet to become known, even to a specialist public. This is the first of three CDs presenting all of Alkan's unrecorded music for organ.

About the Artist
Kevin Bowyer was born in Southend-on-Sea in January 1961 and studied with Christopher Bowers-Broadbent, David Sanger, Virginia Black and Paul Steinitz. He has won first prizes in five international organ competitions and has gained a reputation for playing unusual and new muisic and for taking on 'impossible' projects. In 1987 he gave the world premiere of Kaikhosru Sorabji's two-hour solo Symphony for Organ, considered 'impossible' ever since its first publication in 1925.
At home Kevin has played solo and concerto in most of the major venues and festivals. Trips and tours abroad have taken him throughout Europe, North America, Australia and Japan. In summer 2003 he played the complete solo organ symphonies of Widor and Vierne and the complete organ works of Olivier Messiaen in three concerts in the same week at St. Giles, Cripplegate.
Mr. Bowyer has released about 80 solo CDs, many of which have won awards. They include many recordings of contemporary music as well as the complete organ music of J.S. Bach (29 CDs) and music by Alkan, Brahms, Schumann, Reubke, Hindemith and Schoenberg.
