Appropriately enough given the tempest raging outside, listening to Severin von Eckardstein's (who he? - Ed) breathtaking traversal of Nicolai Medtner's so-called "Night Wind" sonata on the German K&K label (Qobuz 24/96). This really is barnstorming playing, recorded in sensational sound on a magnificent 1901 Steinway. This music demands a truly transcendental technique and this von Eckardstein clearly possesses in no small measure. Anyone who doubts this is great music should hear this!
