Product-Information:
»I repeat what I said to you back in Russia: you are, in my opinion, the greatest composer of our time.« – Sergei Rachmaninov (1921)
It would be hard to overestimate the importance of this set.
Medtner's piano compositions are arguably the last area of great Romantic piano repertoire to be discovered. His music is difficult, both technically and intellectually, and does not »play to the gallery«, which may explain its neglect. But once his world has been entered it proves endlessly fascinating and compelling, his work growing in stature with every hearing until one is left in no doubt as to its overwhelming effect.
Central to his output are the 14 Piano Sonatas (though the title covers a multitude of structures and sizes) and here for the first time we have the complete cycle recorded by one artist.
Rezensionen
»Superlatively played and presented. Such writing positively demands a transcendental technique and a burning poetic commitment, a magical amalgam achieved with delicacy, drama and finesse by Marc-André Hamelin« (Gramophone)
»A set that does deserve celebration. Indispensable to all lovers of Medtner's subtle and enriching art« (Gramophone)
»I was breathless with admiration« (Hi-Fi News)
»Hamelin and everyone involved with the production of this release deserves the highest praise« (Fanfare, USA)
Rezensionen
A. Csampai in Scala 1/99: »Wir erleben eine wundersame, gedanklich dichte, in den schönsten Farben leuchtende Entdeckungsreise in unbekannte Regionen des romantischen Klavierkosmos, und wir staunen, was die schon damals totgesagte Tonalität noch an Reichtum bereithielt. In jeder Hinsicht vorbildlich.«- Tracklisting
