Steve, thank you, for your excellent essay on Medtner. I would like to draw your attention, and the readers on the list to another excellent recording of Mednter's pianoconcertos. Scherbakoff on NAXOS, they come with the quintet. For those who are really interested, I strongly recommend Hamelin's complete recording of the sonatas, it isn't easy listening, you really have to dig into the music, but the rewards are great. In addition to Steve's favourites of the Hyperion series, let me add my own, Marx' concerto, coupled with Korngold's lefthand one, both not easily conquerable, and also the Hamelin Busoni. Peter Wisse
