My aesthetic ideals were formed in my youth by two diametrically opposed sources. On the one hand Taneyev, who was musically an out-and-out conservative; on the other his pupil Zhilyayev who brought me up on Scriabin and Debussy, convinced that contemporary music should break new ground. These two points of view exercised an influence on my creative work. But my ideals were finally formed through discussions with Medtner, who did not entirely agree with either tendency.

Svetnalov’s playing is so good. I wish he recorded more at the piano. Would love to hear him in more Rachmaninoff pieces besides the few nuggets he left behind.
