Ingrid Fliter is set to thrill her fans with a new recording of piano concertos; eagerly awaited since her acclaimed recording of Chopin 1 & 2, which saw Fliter nominated for a Gramophone Award. Fliter performs repertoire that is very close to her heart: concertos by two nineteenth century heavyweights, Schumann and Mendelssohn. With both composers giving equal focus to soloist and orchestra, the musicality of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra’s award-winning musicians shines through as they partner Fliter perfectly. This also marks the recording debut of Antonio Méndez, who is fast becoming one of the most exciting conductors of his generation following engagements with a host of international orchestras.

In the latter decades of the 19th century the program offered on this release might have been one of the most common of all for an evening of piano-and-orchestra music. Nowadays the Piano Concerto No. 1 in G minor, Op. 25, of Mendelssohn is not the repertory giant it once was, but it’s a beautiful fit with the expressive world of pianist Ingrid Fliter. Several factors combine to make this an unusually satisfying Romantic piano concerto offering, but among them is the high-contrast approach of Fliter herself, really capturing the listener’s attention. And it’s all done within the moderate parameters of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra under the young conductor Antonio Méndez, the same size as the orchestra that would have played these works in the composers’ own time. The Schumann Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 54, contains an episodic feel in Fliter’s hands, all within the concerto’s intricate form: the opening is strikingly urgent without being loud, the lyrical passages seem to bloom, and the finale broadens out nobly. The Mendelssohn is even more episodic, and here Fliter captures, as few others have, the formally free quality of the work, which inspired listeners of the time to propose elaborate programs for it. Mendelssohn himself called these programs “stupid,” but they did capture something of what made the concerto fresh when Mendelssohn wrote it, and Fliter restores that freshness. Throw in close attention to small detail from all the performers and fine transparent sound from Linn’s engineers, working at the RSNO Center’s Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow, and you have a standout recording.
