{"product_id":"medtner-complete-piano-sonatas-vol-3","title":"Medtner: Complete Piano Sonatas, Vol. 3 - Paul Stewart","description":"\u003cp\u003eMedtner’s 14 piano sonatas, the most significant achievement in this genre by any major composer since Beethoven, span his career. The Sonata-Ballade explores a tempestuous musical allegory – the triumph of Light over Darkness, of Faith over Doubt; while the Sonata in A minor is cast in a single, terse movement, with folkloric elements and frequent use of bell-like features that exude Russianness. By contrast, the ‘Night Wind’ Sonata is a monumental epic of exceptional complexity that stunned Rachmaninov and led composer and critic Sorabji to call it ‘the greatest piano sonata of modern times.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis recording was made on both modern and period instruments: tracks 1-4 (Steinway \u0026amp; Sons, Model D, serial number 578182 (Hamburg, c. 2007); tracks 5-6: Steinway \u0026amp; Sons, Model D (Hamburg, c. 1929)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSonata-Ballada in F-Sharp Major, Op. 27 (1914) (00:23:00 )\u003cbr\u003e1\u003cbr\u003eI.
