The quantity of beautiful works is out of the chart. Rachmaninoff, maybe my favorite composer, admired his compositions so much. What a golden age for music Russia had back then, and what great times we live in today that we can still listen to basically all of their works anytime we want... Thanks for sharing.

Med 3 is so underrated!

Did you ever notice the similarities between the tragica’s second theme and that first excerpt from the third concerto? I only noticed it now. Medtner is such a great composer. I really hope he continues to get more recognition over the years because he really deserves it.

Yes that moment in 3rd movement of 2nd piano concerto is really awesome. Hamelin is also great here.

The Sonata Reminiscenza always gives me goosebumps. Gilels is one of my favorites, but the best rendition of that work has to be Ginzburg's.

Another great moments are the second A theme from his sonata G minor, the end of development of War sonata, practically every minute of his quintet (mainly the coda), or skazka Op. 2 No 2. Coda of Op. 34 no 1, or Op. 20 no 2, coda of Sonata epica or the second theme of 1st violin sonata. Sonata romantica has also great passages. My another favourites are his fuggues from sonata ballad, Sonata Minnaciosa, 2nd piano concerto or in Opus 58 No 2.

Medtner Night wind is also my fav indeed. There's also a lot fairy tales especially op 26 no 3, op 8 no 1, 48 no 2, 51 no 1. Sonata romantica, minacciosa and tragica is enormous. Pc 1 have a lot gigantic moments. Theres also Violin sonata epica no 3 great as well

@@PianoConcerto-wn2udListen to them, they are gems. I recommend opus 20, opus 34, opus 42 (mainly the second skazka) and the opus 51

@@teodorb.p.composeri adore the last of the op.51! It’s so evocative, I always envision that scene from Snow White where the gnomes are marching in the forest on their way to the mines. I don’t know why but I think it fits so well.

@teodorb.p.composer Ай бұрын

@@emielgeerts Yeah, I adore the whole opus, but the last two are my favourite. But No 5 is good only in Medtner's intepretation, Tozer played it too mechanicaly...

One man's meat, as they say. Unfortunately these excerpts have failed to convert me to be an ardent admirer of Medtner's music. To me, there often seems to be a certain awkwardness in structure/flow and a lack of memorable themes/melodies overall. I guess I've been spoiled by Rachmaninov and Prokofiev. So I'm not surprised that his music - the concerti, etc - is so rarely programmed (except perhaps in Russia?). But just my own personal opinion of course! And I will listen to the excerpts recommended in the comments below to see if they change my current opinion, which is that (to paraphrase Woody Allen's words) he is a second rate composer, but as second rate composers go, he is first rate!

HELL NO you didnt even mention the last bars of medtners round dance, the staccato-legato combination by the two pianos and the dreamy restatement of the main motif???????????????? there will be violence
