About This Release
Of the 14 piano sonatas composed by the Russian composer Nikolai Medtner (1880-1951), Canadian pianist
Benjamin Bertin has selected the last three sonatas for his ATMA Classique debut album. These sonatas represent
a contrasting and fascinating portrait of the mature composer at the peak of his powers. In terms of ingenuity of
form, diversity of mood and character, and overall mastery of craft, these final works are akin to those of Beethoven,
who inspired Medtner throughout his life.
