Piano Concertos

CD Details

Chopin’s two piano concertos, composed during the Romantic era, receive an accomplished interpretation on this 2014 recording. Pianist Ingrid Fliter, known for her deep engagement with Chopin’s works, performs both the E Minor Concerto, Op. 11 and the F Minor Concerto, Op. 21 alongside conductor Jun Märkl and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. The first concerto allows the piano to take center stage with its carefully orchestrated accompaniment, while the second work ranges from dramatic opening gestures to lyrical passages where the orchestra’s woodwinds play a prominent role.

Released on the Linn label, this CD contains both concertos performed by an ensemble praised for its delicate playing and sensitive support of the soloist. Fliter’s technique handles Chopin’s demanding passages with apparent ease while maintaining expressive depth throughout. Add this recording to your collection at a fraction of retail cost.
