Chopin: Piano Concertos

Since winning the silver medal at the 2000 Frederic Chopin Competition in Warsaw, Ingrid has built a reputation as a first-rate Chopin interpreter. Fliter has previously recorded two all-Chopin discs; her interpretation of the complete Chopin Waltzes received several five star reviews and was named as The Daily Telegraph's ‘CD of the Week' and Classic FM Magazine's ‘Editors Choice'.

Chopin's Piano Concerto No 1 is a thoughtfully scored composition that allows the piano to shine. The Scottish Chamber Orchestra's beautifully delicate playing perfectly highlights Fliter's authoritative, yet expressive performance.

Fliter carefully and skilfully showcases the range of tones in Chopin's second piano concerto, from the dramatic introductory chords at the opening of the first movement to the sweetly lyrical second movement where the Scottish Chamber Orchestra's woodwinds vie for centre stage. Fliter is a breathtaking performer whose performance of Chopin's commanding chords and lightening speed runs are effortless.

2014 is the Scottish Chamber Orchestra's fortieth anniversary year, and this new album is its twenty-first recording with Linn.

A 24-bit 192 kHz studio master for this album is available from the Linn Records website.
