Volume 2 explores Medtner's growing confidence and originality as a composer, bringing together works that reveal an increasingly distinctive musical language. At the heart of the album is the innovative Fairy Tales, Op. 34, a remarkable set that showcases the composer's artistry. The album concludes with the monumental Sonata in G minor, Op. 22, a work that bears a striking resemblance to another colossal piano masterpiece of the nineteenth century: Liszt's Sonata in B minor.
