Ingrid Fliter is set to thrill her fans with a new LP, eagerly awaited since her first, Chopin: Preludes, sold out within a year. To make it extra special this is a 45rpm Supercut, 180g vinyl which gives you everything you love about LPs but more: better dynamics, less noise and a cleaner Hi-Fi response. Fliter performs repertoire that is very close to her heart: the iconic piano concerto by nineteenth century heavyweight, Robert Schumann. Fliter brings the lyrical romanticism of the A minor concerto to life whilst perfectly navigating the shifting colours and technical demands of this brilliant showpiece. Schumann gives equal focus to soloist and orchestra, allowing the musicality of the SCO's award-winning musicians to shine through, as they partner Fliter perfectly. This also marks the recording debut of Antonio Mendez, who is fast becoming one of the most exciting conductors of his generation following engagements with a host of international orchestras. Ingrid Fliter first sprang to international attention when she was awarded the 2006 Gilmore Artist Award, one of only a handful of pianists to have received this honour. A graceful and charismatic performer, Fliter is well-known for her thoughtful and sensitive music-making and effortless technique. Her enthusiasm on stage is always infectious, and every performance is deeply personal and full of charm and poetry. Ingrid Fliter divides her time between Europe and the USA, where she works with orchestras such as the Cleveland Orchestra, Minnesota Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra, LA Philharmonic, SFS Orchestra and Toronto Symphony Orchestra. The SCO is a world-renowned orchestra; its extensive series of Linn recordings feature Robin Ticciati and Sir Charles Mackerras.
