5 out of 5 stars Tozer is brilliant!.......2005-01-19

I am a big fan of Andre-Hamelin and agree that Tozer is lesser-known than Hamelin as a previous reviewer said. But it does not damage the brilliancy of Tozer at all. He has a great sense of structure and his phrasing is luminous. His talent as a virtuosi makes it possible to challenge this extremly difficult works and the result is great. Bravo for Tozer!!

5 out of 5 stars Uknown Greatness!!!!.......2002-05-12

He might not be a very well known composer but I can truly say that these pieces are something beautiful!! I also have the music book of Medtner and its a good workout on the keyboard, he is worth giving a listen, NO DOUBT!!

3 out of 5 stars He's not Marc-André Hamelin.......2000-03-06

Geoffrey Tozer deserves our applause for bringing the solo music of Medtner to our attention in modern times. But the performances on this disc have been superseded by the incredible traversal, in a boxed set, of the sonatas plus other pieces, by Marc-André Hamelin, who is the most amazing pianist in this sort of repertoire before the public today.

5 out of 5 stars Very impressive recordings of Medtners piano works by Tozer.......2000-02-27

Keeping the review short, it must be stated that Geoffrey Tozer's interpretation of Medtners works is sensitive and always brings out the melody and structure of the works in a clear way. Although it must have been quite a Job till now, new volumes in the series are very welcome!
