Charles-Valentin Alkan (30 November 1813 – 29 March 1888) was a French composer and pianist. At the height of his fame in the 1830s and 1840s he was, alongside his friends and colleagues Chopin and Liszt, among the leading pianists in Paris, where he spent virtually his entire life. His music requires extreme technical virtuosity, reflecting his own abilities. Busoni ranked Alkan with Liszt, Chopin, Schumann and Brahms as one of the five greatest composers for the piano since Beethoven. For much of the 20th century, Alkan's work remained in obscurity, but from the 1960s onwards it was steadily revived.

Giovanni Bellucci (born 31 August 1965 in Rome) is an Italian pianist. Bellucci only started studying at the S. Cecilia Conservatoire in Rome under the direction of Franco Medori when he was already 14. He received his Master degree at the Accademia Pianistica in Imola. According to the Gramophone, Bellucci is an artist born into the great Italian tradition and brought up to it - a tradition historically represented by Busoni, Zecchi, Michelangeli, Ciani, Pollini. His CDs, published by Decca, WARNER CLASSICS, ACCORD-UNIVERSAL, OPUS 106, ASSAI, and DANACORD, have received multiple awards.
