To have such romantic richness . . . offered on a bargain label is cause for celebration in itself; to have it performed and recorded with such tireless commitment is a double blessing. . . . [S]uccessful on all counts. Scherbakov, praised by Richter and recently hailed as a ‘modern Rachmaninov’, is now more attuned to Medtner’s widely fluctuating idiom, complementing his unquestioned virtuosity with inwardness and conviction. . . . Scherbakov’s agility at, say, the con moto (8'38'') is never at the expense of a composer whose bravura is always poetically motivated, and so all lovers of romantic piano concertos need look no further. . . . -- Bryce Morrison, Gramophone
