The theme that links all four composers is that they were all born in Russia, but died far from their country of birth. As well as Medtner\u2019s substantial work, Malofeev also plays Rachmaninov\u2019s Second Piano Sonata in its 1931 revised version. James Jolly caught up with Alexander Malofeev in Paris when the pianist was there as part of short European solo tour to talk about the new album, his repertoire and jumping in to replace Martha Argerich on a tour with the Rotterdam Philharmonic.
