This is exciting playing !!!! It is letting one's self go.
Is Eleni Traganas the Callas of the piano? Absolutely. Her interpretation is not to be compared with the 'standard rubato' as mentionned in the previous comment, which by definition is boring. Medtner and Rachmaninoff need brilliance, and spontaneity. Gentleness and soporific refinement should be reserved for the overplayed Chopin Nocturnes by boring manered pianists.
Eleni with your superb playing, you bring joy to our lives.

WOW !!!!!!! A Medtner (one of my favorite compsers) Fairy Tale played with Greek PATHOS. !!!!!!!
It does get any better than that. It brings tears in my eyes.
I cannot find any words to praise enough this great artist whose stature seems to grow every time I hear another of her recordings.
It is a shame though that there is some distortion in the sound.

Evocative paintings, melancholic music played superbly
interesting interpretation, quite different to 'the standard', quite the rubato playing, and i don't agree with it, but that's a matter of taste and the performance is very consequent and technically flawless! the artwork is great, very fitting with all the dark themes,

Yes - spontaneous moments of unpremeditated rubato and unexpected nuances are often the unique (and challenging) hallmark of unedited live performance recordings!
