He died 6 days ago of a liver disease. Sad, he was such a great pianist.

Indeed, Geoffrey Tozer is my favorite interpreter of the Medtner sonatas.

He'll be greatly missed.  I have a couple of his Medtner CDs, and just from those can tell he was a wonderful artist.  His passing is very sad.
Interpreting music means exploring the promise of the potential of possibilities.
