Some of the Medtner songs I've heard have been - remarkably repeatable and maybe among the best things in his output. So when I notice that Brilliant Classics has an upcoming release called Medtner Complete Songs volume -2- (https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/products/8866568--medtner-sleeplessness-complete-songs-vol-2), set to be released in the US on February 12 2021, I know I take notice... (Volume 1 is already on Amazon Music. There's other really interesting new releases but not all are within the embrace of this forum.)

...and the new Chandos recording is a potential award-winner if I ever heard one. Not only is the music glorious, but so also is the singing of Russian soprano Sofia Fomina. Buy this!
