"... one of the most important pianistic talents of our time ..."
- International Record Review
"Editor's Choice ... a wondrous disc ... (Sudbin) seems to have an exceptional affinity with Medtner’s language. He brings both his heart and his head into play when performing these pieces. His head tackles and illuminates textures and harmonies that might seem opaque and knotty on a first study of the scores; his heart is then harnessed to convey the extraordinary sensibility, passion and thoroughly individual cast of melody that courses through the music ..."
- Gramophone
ICMA winning Russian concert pianist Yevgeny Sudbin has devoted a fair share of his recordings to the music of his fellow counytrymen Medtner and Rachmaninoff: this programme focuses on the two composers' solo works, including Rachmaninov's Six Preludes and sonatas and fairy tales by Medtner.
