2:14 what is classical music even about bro😭🙏🏾

an unusually high number of negative comments for a piece of music... this is one of my favorite of medtners. how at 17:40 he just drops this 10/10 gorgeous melody (that i catch myself whistling when i havent even heard this piece in months) and then only uses it in the background and interweaves it, never fully recapitulating. I love how he does stuff like that. such a tease. and the ending oh my days so gorgeous and exciting

These are absolutely fantastic studies for piano! It's been a terrible loss to the musical community these haven't been performed more often. I'm learning the D minor etude of this set - gorgeous harmonies and soaring melody, though not for the pianistic 'faint of heart'. (Rachmaninov was not just 'being nice' when he said he admired Friedman's piano playing.) Beautiful recording by Glebov, I only wish she recorded the entire set of 16 etudes. :)

Это опять я. И опять слушаю Метнера. Замечааательный композитор!

Amazing, grotesque, strange, winged, terrorsurging, raving-dancing, sudden-collapsing, delirant, celestially-voluptuous, blinking-25-note-chordesque, universal-heat-deadly... I want to die!! (Of joy)

Does anyone know where to find recordings of those not performed here?

Medtner는 Rachmaninoff, Scriabin과 같이 언급되어야 할 위대한 작곡가다. 그의 음악은 심오하고 깊이가 있으며 난해함 속에 서정성과 구조적 아름다움을 갖췄다. 대부분 소나타의 연주는 Tozer의 연주가 음색이 깔끔하고 듣기 좋으나 Night Wind만큼은 Eckardstein의 연주가 명연주라고 할 수 있다. 그는 Night Wind의 모든 음을 명료하게 연주하며 강조해야 할 멜로디를 확실하게 표현하는 연주를 선보인다. 이 모든 음악을 유튜브에서 들을 수 있게 해주어서 매우 감사하다.

Except his degree of difficulty,…witch is astonishing,… his musical theme’s are so surprising and inventive! I love this very much!

Слушаю очередной шедевр Метнера. Спасибо за альбом его произведений.

So beautiful yet unbelievably underrated! This is much more interesting than all of Rach concertos

The pianist is Artur Pizarro, not "Pizzaro".

I feel some Liebestod energy in No.2.

Сегодня 1 января 2025г. Поздравляю всех любителей классической музыки с наступившим Новым годом! Пусть сбудутся Ваши добрые намерения и пожелания.

Метнер, к сожалению, забытый композитор. Но ведь его произведения прекрасны. Жаль, что именитыЕ пианисты предпочитают исполнять произведения только именитых композиторов. Было бы неплохо, если бы они знакомили нас и забытыми: Рамо, Борткевич, Момпту и другими.

I think the cadenza starts at 13:25 not 15:28.

00:05 --- Unidad temática 1 (función exposición) 00:56 ---- Transición (transición) 01:18 ---- Unidad temática 2 (exposición) 01:54 ---- Unidad temática 3 (desarrollo en sextas) 02:16 ---- Otra unidad temática? 02:29 ---- Unidad temática 4 (exposición) 03:14 ---- Unidad temática 5 (exposición) 03:28 ---- Transición (reexposición) 03:48 ---- Unidad temática 2 (reexposición del desarrollo de sextas) 04:38 ---- Unidad temática 6 (exposición, elaborativa) 05:19 ---- Transición 05:26 ---- Unidad temática 2 (reexposición) 05:55 ---- Unidad temática 1 (reexposición) Segunda parte 06:43

what's going on at the end, why does she play eighths instead of sixteenths? And the drummer with cymbals is lagging behind a little earlier (31:00)

can anyone mention the incredible inner voicing from 1:05??!! This is just Crazy!!!

I'm not sure I heard that Scriabin was into theology, and he believed that he can touch, talk with god through music. listening to this piece, it feels like a man fighting for interact god, but did not make it. This piece is just Unreal. Can't express with text.

The Poltergeist has to be one of the cutest piano pieces I've ever heard.

BELLEZA ABSOLUTA!!!!!!

1:59 those chords, it's insane

Night burger. Midnight burgerr…

Prokofiev said Mendtner’s piano music is beautifully pianistic, but it’s extremely difficult get into the fingers. If you’re a pianist you’ll understand.

There doesn’t seem too many recordings of the Minicosa Sonata. Hamelin said it’s the only piece he gets nervous about performing live. It’s like a buttoned down version of Islamay

It's an extraordinary performance. Virtuosic, expressive, voice articulation and thrilling. There's a wonderful detail at 1:16 where Sultanov emphasises the bass notes in the LH chords (Cb Db Eb) - I've heard this 00s of times and never heard a pianist do that. Such a terrible tragedy he died so young.

"именитыЕ музыканты"

Да, увы, вы правы, дорогие друзья - комментаторы: Метнер недооценён. Как и многие другие:Поуленк, Момпту (не знаю, как правильно пишется его фамилия по-русски). Это потому, что именитых музыканты предпочитают исполнять произведения именитых композиторов.

Tozer has no idea how to play this sonata

Medtner is so utterly enjoyable, so pianistic, so unique, not grotesque like Alkan, not narcissistic like Scriabin. The Romantic Prokofiev, if you will. Okay, maybe part Schumann, part Rachmaninov.

This piece is very haunting

What a madlad the prokofiev was.

8:06:34

Maybe the greatest video on youtube ever!!!

Как хорошо, что я НЕ музыкальный специалист, а просто любитель классической музыки на уравнение нравится /не нравится. Мне не надо засекать время удачной/неудачной игры, не надо разбираться "крещендо здесь уместно/неуместно". Я ПРОСТО слушаю МУЗЫКУ!!!.

Ещё бы качество получше.

9:19 that is possibly the most violent sounding bass note I have heard in my entire life and I LOVE IT

Molto bello!! Un po' rach.....

No. 5 is the ultimate octave etude for my taste! :-)

I imagine number V tells a story, vaguely reminiscent of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice. It begins with an imperial annoucement from some mighty boss figure. Then a timid but also courageous figure starts picking at something he shouldn’t, gradually becoming more bold. Etc

노래 개좋네

The harmony at 7:21 is like a breath of fresh air.

No puedo entender cómo este compositor no está entre los más grandes de la historia.

55:03 bro these 2 chord modulations are amazing, i wish the composer expanded on them

Du très grand Prokofiev !

woah

Why oh! Why, have I never heard of this genius?

08:19 27:29

reading through the comments, i can see people either really, really love or really dislike this concerto. while yes, I do think bortkiewicz’s first and second concertos were even better, there’s no denying that this is a masterful work with some really beautiful themes, especially the fourth and fifth movements. it is quite repetitive, and i do agree some of the piano passages are pretty dry melodically, but i do really like the ‘per aspera ad astra’ - going from darkness to light, i don’t think I’ve come across another work that does that. overall, 7/10, great piece and definitely worth listening to. edit: i think it’s really depressing that the organ literally only plays 1 chord at the very end, it could have been so much cooler if it was used throughout the concerto

eckardstein plays the cleanest, best thought out and planned interpretation of this piece by far. Ponochevny may have paved the way, but it is not even an argument as to which is a better performance - Eckardstein is king of this piece. This channel actually has his performance up, if you like the piece you should absolutely listen to Eckardsteins interpretation ruclips.net/video/KhsD1MeQaXM/видео.html
