This review is from: The Complete Piano Sonatas Vol. 2 (Paperback)
This is the second part of the much neglected collection of piano sonatas by Russian composer, Nikolai Medtner. Written in Beethovenian tradition, though with rich romantic overtones not unlike Beethoven's late sonatas.Jaded pianists who are tired of playing Beethoven Op. 110 yet again should take a look at these. The rich, indulgent, Sonata-Ballada, Op. 27, is highly recommended. Its finger-twisting fugue in the last movement keeps even the most technically proficient pianist working.

This review is from: The Complete Piano Sonatas Vol. 2 (Paperback)
We should all say a big 'Thank You' to Dover and the pianists Istomin, Hamelin and Tozer for producing these 2 volumes of Medtner's sonatas. As far as I know, the Opp.25,27,30 and 56 sonatas are not otherwise available. The notes by Mr Tozer are very insightful. These 2 books are indispensable for any serious pianist willing to tackle this challenging yet rewarding music. I wonder when Dover will get round to other Russian composers like Mossolov and Alexandrov ...
