Medtner - Piano Concerto No. 2 (Tozer) [200 subscribers Special]

One of the most incredible piano concerto of the whole music litterature. The first movement (00:05) is titanic, powerful, tragic, desperate and passionate. The second (16:00), as his title says, is very romantic but without neglecting the intensity, the passion (check 17:13). This movement is highly contrasted, with passionate moments as mentionned just before, and with some really delicate and beautiful moments (17:58). The third movement (24:53) , again, is also just mindblowing. It immediatly starts very powerfully, and this time, more in an happy, festive, even a radiant joy. He has some indescribably beautfiul moments (28:41). And then, the coda starts (34:54). Such passion, epicness, until the explosive final, which i will not even talk of, it just needs listen. I.
