Dean:

From Fanfare's review in 2012 of this issue: "This is admittedly difficult music to bring off convincingly but the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra—one of Denmark’s most illustrious provincial groups—provides brilliant realizations under composer-conductor Bo Holten that must be considered definitive. This first volume supplies an excellent introduction to one of the most individualistic composers of the first half of the 20th century."

I was at a Green Umbrella performance in the late '80s, early '90s, a North American premier of a Ligeti piece, at which I vaguely recall he was in attendance. During preliminary remarks there was some discussion of how to pronounce his name. If I remember correctly, it was

Alkan's Scherzo Diabolico has been recorded by Vincenzo Maltempo. (Maltempo? Bad timing?)

Cage's Freeman Etudes, as they progress, must be at least as difficult as the Alkan.
