Complete Solo Piano Recordings 2 - Classical Music Collection for Relaxation, Study & Home Decor

A yogi composer for certain. Each phrase is like a non-repeating mantra that has its origins in the Romantic tradition, but does not express a sentimental bone in any note played. The composer has a point of view -- I feel he is trying to keep one hand in the melodic tradition, but the other hand never finds a final place to rest--the works are strangely non-melodic but not mechanistic. More like the fleeting thoughts one has in meditation, but of a central theme. I can see why he had a Indian financial sponsor. If you are into Eastern thought, yoga, like mid-century experimental music, meditate, ruminate about penetrating new layers of consciousness, you will like Medtner.
