Schumann Piano Concerto Mendelssohn Piano Concerto No 1

ingrid Fliter - piano Antonio méndez - Conductor

Following on from our Gramophone Award-nominated recording of Chopin’s Piano Concertos, our acclaimed partnership with pianist Ingrid Fliter continues with two Romantic composers close to our hearts in Schumann and Mendelssohn.

Ingrid Fliter is a graceful and charismatic performer, wellknown for her thoughtful and sensitive music-making and effortless technique.

The recording also marks the recording debut of Antonio Méndez with whom we performed at the 2015 St Magnus International Festival as well as during our 2015/16 Season.

This is the first album to be recorded at the state of the art facilities in the new Royal Scottish National Orchestra Centre in Glasgow.

Available to purchase now from the SCO Merchandise desk: £12. Also available to download in Studio Master or on 45 RPM Supercut vinyl from www.linnrecords.com “[Fliter] brilliantly tackles Schumann’s shifting colours and technical demands head on… she brings out all of Mendelssohn’s melodic genius.” Classic FM

“There’s still room for something fresh to be said with this evergreen music … in both the Mendelssohn and Schumann, Fliter plays with tautness and energy, fitting handin-glove with the SCO. Heartfelt and intelligent, this is life-enhancing music, and as a bonus there’s The Fair Melusina Overture”. BBC Music Magazine, May 2016

COming sOOn… ––––––Last September we were in the studio with Conductor Ben Gernon, recording three works by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies – An Orkney Wedding, with Sunrise, Last Door of Light and Ebb of Winter. The latter of these works was our last completed commission from our late Composer Laureate, which we premiered during our 40th Anniversary Season.

This album is due for release on Linn in September 2016.
