Boris Berezovsky - Fairy Tales - Nicolai Medtner - (3 of 3)

Can't get enough of Medtner. He's a drug.

@jacksongrant15 That's what precisely Boris Berezovsky said in an interview. He said that at first he hated it, then he started to play the music, and he could never get it out of his head.

Since MediciTV's Channel removed a video with an interview and scenes from the Paladin March, I have been wondering if I would ever listen to the full recital...thank you very much for uploading it!!

@77katsumoto Welcome.

what a fine medtner performance! but i feel that berezovsky could have been slightly less uncompromising in his piece choice, one or two accessible fairy tales like 20/1, 26/1 or the famous horowitz favourite 51/3 and one of the forgotten melodies like danza festiva (38/3) could have fully convinced even the most skeptical of the audience members, i fear that many people have gone away from this recital with the impression that medtner were merely an obscure, contrapuntally obsessive genius.

@Sorcerer88 Good thing you liked these or I wouldnt have come across it! Sounds very modern! Either this Medtner guy was ahead of his time or this is definitely 20th century stuff. I swear it sounds like VGM to me! Kinda reminds me ALOT of Yoko Shimmomura's WOnderland's Surprises-the Piano Collection version. 3:07 is like a mini battle theme xD! 1:15 sounds like something a modern day VG guy like Hamauzu might do. Reminds me of some Poulenc as well. Its final....I love this Medtner guy!
