...forthcoming (April) from Hyperion:

A somewhat disppointing coupling (Rach PC3), but should be worth it for the Medtner...

Oh, I don't know... Hamelin's is probably the only Rach 3 I'd look forward to.

Alan Howe

I know what you mean. I was thinking repertoire, not performance. I'll certainly be buying...

I am thinking repertoire and performance and i would need a very good reason to listen to these concertos again. Madge destroyed the Medtner for me and since a recording of the Rachmaninoff superior to Bronfman is impossible, I may well give this a miss.

Hamelin's Rubinstein/Scharwenka disc was as exciting as watching someone creosoting a shed and I am wary of purchasing his releases.

While Hamelin isn't my favorite interpreter of Medtner, I'll still buy it because in his own way it will doubtless be great.
