Alkan - Concerto for Solo Piano (Marc-Andre Hamelin; Hyperion CDA67569). I picked this up some time ago and just listened to it recently. A stunning work; the 3rd movement can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKQO2rRv0VA&feature=related

The pianist is Francesco Napoleoni. Very nice performance, would have sounded even better if it had been played not on an electric piano but on a Steinway Grand.
Thanks Mapman for awakening my curiosity.....
