I saw Hamelin play the Night Wind sonata at Barge Music in NYC. A boat gently rocking back and forth, Hamelin's phenomenal playing in front of a wall-of-glass revealing the lower-Manhattan skyline... pure magic.
Thank you for posting this. I always appreciate it when a pianist, especially of Hamelin's caliber, helps revive a neglected composer, and Medtner's piano music is always a pleasure to hear.
I totally agree, i've been obsessed with Medtner for several years but I've never heard him played live - I hope more videos and more Hamelin menas that he'll get the exposure he deserves. (If anyone has a video of hamelin playing Fairy Tale Op20 No2 Campanella Please put it on!)
Enjoy one of the finest living pianists. TY Sissco for sharing.

Hamelin's fingerings are always so smart! ...I adore the sound he produces from the piano.

I'd love to say this is my favourite fairy tale by Medtner.. but it is not that easy with Medtner's music.
I could listen to any piece by Medtner and it could become my favourite.. it's so much beyond words, and also beyond listening...

This piece is absolutely wonderful, I'm really glad I discovered Medtner.
