Medtner - Sonata Reminiscenza - Hamelin - Part 1

such gloriously beautiful balance at the beginning - throughout the entire section too!

Hamelin and Tozer's Medtner is very different but if you're looking for top of line Medtner that's the way to go.

It's really true that Medtner's music grows on you slowly but inexorably. This is one piece that, almost impossibly, seems more beautiful every time I listen to it: inextricably both heart-breaking and consoling, powerful and infinitely tender. Thanks for posting, and thanks to Hamelin.

Sonata Tragica, op39 no5 :)

I agree they're a bunch of pedants and vacuous dilletantes looking in the opposite direction of of a sun rising.

The music is, of course, exceptional. The theme is the most memorable I've heard in years...

Forgive me but I dont understand..Ashkenazy has recorded the complete Rachmaninov pianomusic more than once..Yet, Michelangeli's recording of the 4 th pianoconcerto is a milestone recording..being a dilletent and willing to learn ..please ewxplain better..
