Ingrid Fliter & SCO - Schumann & Mendelssohn: Piano Concertos - Classic FM

Ever since she thrilled us with her recordings of Chopin's Piano Concertos, we've been eagerly awaiting Ingrid Fliter's take on the equally romantic concertos of Schumann and Mendelssohn. The wait was worth it. She brilliantly tackles Schumann's shifting colours and technical demands head on, not for a moment compromising the work's lyricism. And she brings out all of Mendelssohn's melodic genius while deftly handling all of the work's demands on the virtuoso. The Scottish Chamber Orchestra provide well-balanced and taut accompaniment and it's exciting to hear Antonio Méndez recorded for the first time, an exciting young conductor who is destined for greatness.
