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.
I have played this piece in competition. It's amazing to play; I discover new things about it every time I play or listen. Hamelin and I had a discussion about it once... I believe he is in posession of the autograph score. Great playing!
Sorry but I absolutely do not agree with Hamelin's satement that Medtner's music doesn't make the best impression at first. I'm listening to this piece for the first time and I think this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
Yes, grandly conceived and played, but a bit abstruse, don't you think? Whenever I hear this, I follow it up right away with "Gesegnet Soll Sie Schreiten," Lohengrin
Well, Hamelin's Medtner is great, but I don't think he is as consistent quality-wise as Tozer is. Not to mention, Tozer has recorded much more Medtner than Hamelin has.

My Medtner journey began this past year - your words are quite accurate, my friend.
I could not agree with you more completely. Every time I listen to Medtner the more I love and appreciate his genius.
such gloriously beautiful balance at the beginning - throughout the entire section too!
Gigantesco Hamelin.

I have also. Hamelin said he'd never heard something so beautiful he almost gave up the piano but I told him to continue and persevere
@@ciararespect4296Wow, where would Hamelin be without the notable ciararespect4296, what a historic moment the definitely happened

4:57 ouch my ear !
This is brilliant.
For me, the Night Wind (op25 no.2) is my favourite. It is an absolutely amazing sonata.
@RediForKing I completely agree.
Yes I agree on that in general, but I was talking about forgotten melodies no.6 =O

demidenko's medtner is very dry compared to hamelin's in my opinion. hamelin is almost as much of an expert on medtner as geoffrey tozer is.

Sonata Tragica, op39 no5 :)
The greatest of all Reminiscenza interpretations is that of Anna Vinnitskaya.
Beautiful indeed, thoguh those anyone else agree with me that for no.6 Demidenko plays it better?

My favorite is Hamish Milne with his recordings of the complete Medtner Sonatas! But I like Tozer very much, too.
Too many audio artifacts to enjoy it...
mendtner and rachmaninoff are genius but they both have different lucks
