Sviatoslav Richter plays Medtner - Sonata Reminiscenza, Op. 38, No. 1 (1/2)

Part 1 Nikolai Medtner - Sonata Reminiscenza, Op. 38, No. 1 Moscow, 1981 In his opening remarks Richter is talking about his own feelings/associations. This music reminds him works of Borisov-Musatov and Anton Chekhov Some kind of “old fashioned“ nostalgia which was so typical for Russian intelligentsia. Richter is also noticing the perfection of music form here.
