Medtner, der Held

Autor Philip Pullman erklärt in der Rubrik My Hero bei guardian.co.uk, weshalb Nikolaij Medtner sein Held ist:
"It's true, his music takes a little time to work on you. It's subtle and complex, and the melodies are not blatant and obvious. They don't come to you emoting intemperately; they remain reserved, modest, apparently unassuming, until you approach them on their own terms, and then their beauty opens like a lover's eyes. It's the most astonishing, the most moving thing."
