Thanks for uploading this. Medtner was in my opinion one of the four greatest Sonata writers of all time, the others being Beethoven, Scriabin and Prokofiev.
My top three list would be Scarlatti, Beethoven, and Medtner. I might add Dussek as well if I were looking for a fourth, but I'm not sure. I could never add Scriabin and Prokofiev to a list of great composers, since I reject that kind of excessive dissonance in their "mature" "music". I share the sentiment expressed by Medtner when he heard the premiere of a work by Prokofiev (I forget which one), "If that is music, I'm no musician."
Why is it called "triad" not "trilogy"? Should the second sonata be interpreted as in the paralell key of F major so that the key of the three sonatas forms a F minor chord? It's not like much of the second sonata is in F major. Am I reading too much into it?
I'm going to be honest: this interpretation makes no sense. What's supposed to be exciting and rich with nuance is just reduced to plain pretty playing with no inspiration of needing to continue forward or providing continuity.

I. Piano Sonata in A-Flat Major - 0:00
II. Piano Sonata in D Minor, "Elegy" - 9:10
III. Piano Sonata in C Major - 15:50
The G-major section of the third sonata from 16:52...Just wow. I could listen to that melody forever.

Agreed 100%
@@PieInTheSky9 Another agreement here.

Don't forget Schubert :)
and Kapustin in my opinion

The sonata elegy is absolutely beautiful.
The third one is just astonishing
10:59 - A heartfelt melody

Too much
9:58 - 10:45 is just so good
You are the best!!!
Nicely composed.
I love these
I don't like all of his performances of Medtner's sonatas, but it is obviously that Tozer plays Triad excellently
Sonata made up of sonatas :0

I’m completely gobsmacked. I’m a pianist and you are hearing something beyond my ken. It’s like we are two unrelated species.
