Two strikingly beautiful but very different performances of Medtner’s third set of Vergessene Weisen, more commonly known as the Forgotten Melodies. Arimori is transparent, intimate, Tozer pungently dramatic. It’s a pity that this particular set of pieces is not more often played – it features Medtner at his most subtle and rhythmically creative, and the pieces have that odd Medtnerian quality of being full of both tranquillity and disquiet. Arimori: 00:00 – Danza Col Canto 04:06 – Danza Sinfonica 12:49 – Danza Fiorata 15:44 – Danza Jubilosa 18:40 – Danza Ondulata 21:41 – Danza Ditirambica Tozer: 28:32 – Danza Col Canto 32:48– Danza Sinfonica 41:42 – Danza Fiorata 44:36 – Danza Jubilosa 47:31 – Danza Ondulata 50:37 – Danza Ditirambica
