(5 out of 5 stars)

"Alkan's two sets of Impromptus are anything but run-of-the-mill. Although pretty straight-forward, these character-filled pieces are very interesting, and filled with tang, reminding me of Grieg, Bartok, and Chopin. As Ronald Smith said, they're "relaxed, uncomplicated pieces designed more for private enjoyment than public exposure." Although not all, much of this music is very memorable, if not touching. Laurent Martin is a fine Alkan interpreter, and this disc only confirms that status. Very warmly recommended, although the sound in some places leaves something to be desired."
