I have just spent a
little time with Jean-Delphin Alard (1815-88), listening to the third Duo from his opus 27 Duos brillants, and to his
short salon piece Sevillana. Sevillana is most attractive,
played here by Mela Tenenbaum. The duo, played by Ilya
Gringolts and Alexandr Bulov, is a pretty substantial piece
in three movements, lasting nearly 22 minutes. Easy and attractive
listening, and well played and balanced on the BIS CD. I cannot
understand why there is not more music by Alard available; it would
make a pleasant change from yet another Ravel or Debussy sonata.
