In his own words, Raymond Lewenthal was an “octave thrower, long-distance arpeggioer and general producer of volcanic rumbles”. This hugely talented, extroverted pianist was also a key figure in the revival of a great deal of 19th-century piano music, most of all that of Charles-Valentin Alkan. Sony Classical’s new 8-CD collection of Lewenthal’s recordings for RCA and Columbia celebrates this maverick pianist’s recorded legacy.
