With his second concerto disc, Yevgeny Sudbin celebrates the\nclose relationship between two great Russian composers: Sergei\nRachmaninov and Nikolai Medtner. Medtner would encourage his more\nfamous colleague during the latter’s bouts of self-doubt, while\nRachmaninov early on recognized Medtner’s unique gifts, pronouncing\nhim the ‘greatest composer of our time’. The most sincere testament\nto their friendship is embodied in these two concertos, which the\ncomposers dedicated to one another.
