Background: In the last three decades the staggeringly original piano music of Charles-Valentin Alkan (1813–88) has emerged from the darkness that had surrounded it over the previous century and today features regularly in recital programmes. But Alkan’s music for organ - much of it initially conceived for the now obsolete pedal-piano - is no less powerful and imaginative, although little of had been recorded before Kevin Bowyer began this survey..

His first recording of this repertoire drew ecstatic reviews from the critics; this second instalment (of three) offers music and playing of equal quality.
