Although the highly original music of Charles-Valentin Alkan (1813-88) is now becoming familiar, his equally individual transcriptions have yet to be systematically documented in recordings. Alkan published a series of three albums of transcriptions which have never before been recorded in their entirety; this release is the first in a pioneering project to do just that. This CD presents his complete Mozart transcriptions, the composer whose music Alkan transcribed more than anyone else's. Pianist José Raúl López examines Alkan's art as a transcriber in the booklet's extended essay.

Brought the adventure to life
Format: Paperback
I didn’t expect to feel so pulled into these ancient stories, but this translation made the adventures and struggles feel real and vivid. The language is modern enough to understand easily but keeps the weight and drama of Homer’s world. It’s the kind of book that makes you appreciate why these stories have lasted so long, and it’s been a rewarding read I’m glad I added to my shelf.

Finally made Homer click for me
Format: Paperback
I’ve tried reading The Iliad and The Odyssey before but always got lost in the language. This translation is clear and smooth while keeping the epic feel of the stories. It helped me actually enjoy the characters and battles without feeling like I was stuck in a high school assignment. It’s made these classics feel alive and human, and I’m glad I gave it another try with this version.

Epic tales that still resonate
Format: Paperback
I dove into Dawson’s twin translation of The Iliad and The Odyssey hoping for clarity—and instead found myself struck by their emotional pull. Achilles’ fury, Hector’s honor, Odysseus’ longing for home—it all felt immediate and real. Dawson’s language flows so naturally, I forgot I was reading an ancient text. There were moments I stopped and sighed, moved by how these characters still speak to our hearts today.

A good weekend read

I’ve been taking my time with this, and it’s been surprisingly relaxing to read on slow mornings. It feels clear and easy to follow, which makes these stories feel alive instead of like homework. Glad I gave it a try.

Timeless adventure, beautifully retold
Format: Paperback
I started with The Iliad, expecting a dry history lesson, and ended up caught in the drama of gods and men. Then The Odyssey stole my evenings—each chapter like an invitation back into wonder. Superb translation.
