The best miniatrures in piano history performed by great pianist! I actually didn't know that Volodin has played that much Medtner!

Rare to see a live peformance where the audience is not impatiently waiting to ruin the moment with a barrage of clapping...

[@sama.4471]

Wonderful performances from Volodin, he's an incredible interpreter of Medtner's music. My only minor quibble is that he played the "phrygian mode" Skazka Op. 42/2 way too fast! It's one of the most beautiful pieces Medtner composed and a great jumping off point for people who are new to Medtner or find his music too difficult, slow down Alexei and take some time to smell the roses every now and then!

[@sucroseboy4940]

The 51/3 is almost if not as good as the Horowitz recording

[@teodorb.p.composer]

Great interpretations, but I just cannot agree with his intepretation of opus 42 N°2, i understand what and why he was doing what he was doing, but it just don't feel right...
