Ingrid Fliter - Chopin Piano Concertos disc of the week

[Barbirollians]

I have more than enough recordings of these works . Looking at my shelves it looks like 9 of No 1 and 6 of No 2 . Five minutes of listening to her in the F Minor seems to make it pretty clear I am going to have to get another one . She is a pianist of extraordinary talent . Her Waltzes were in the Lipatti and Rubinstein class and this record seems to be heading the same way .

French frank can you edit the heading of this thread . That typo is really annoying me already !

Ah yes, all the right *o**s but not necessarily in the right order.

Just the encouragement I need. I missed CD Review (sanding down shutters) so thanks, Barbs, for the heads-up on this recording. Cross-threadingly, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Giulini in London box. As well as 16 CDs of music (including one of my desert island discs, the Falla 'El Amor Brujo'), there is a Jon Tolansky tribute, made for Giulini's 90th birthday.

This F Minor is magical . It could even convert Caliban and Suffolkcoastal at this rate .

Cheers FF .

Nowt to do wi' I: I've been poring over it for 5 minutes looking for the typo. It seems to be the alert kb whom you must thank!

The heading was typed Chpoin by mistake - thanks to however corrected it .

Judging by the auto rip the First Piano Concerto performance is as special as that of the second . Very sensitively accompanied too .

Unfortunately, the final bars of the F minor concerto are missing from the iPlayer's 'Listen Again' offering. A fault report has been sent.

I was reading the thread, attracted by Fliter's name, because I've heard her a few times on TTN, and been impressed. (Then was just flexing my moderation muscles - and nearly also changed her name to Filter .)

There's a recording, including her, of the Schumann Piano Quintet which I've heard at least three times on TTN and it hasn't palled: great energy and attack from the keyboard.

I think she's someone to watch (although I'm no great piano connoisseur).

Thanks then KB . She is indeed one to watch and listen too . A very considered and intelligent analysis of the Chopin concertos in this month's gramophone by her too .

I've been playing a disc of Gina Bachauer and Antal Dorati in these two pieces, from one of the large Mercury Living Presence boxes. I've enjoyed it quite a bit. I have to admit that while I have a few recordings of these pieces, I've been somewhat immune to there charms, until now, although I listen to a lot of Chopin.
I don't know where the Bachauer/Dorati disc fits in the greater tally of these oft recorded works but I am recommending it.

We were lucky enough to hear Ms. Fliter play Beethoven's fourth concerto recently with the RSNO. Gorgeous playing. Yes, a name to watch.

[gradus]

She plays Schumann well too, there was a gripping performance of the Symphonic
Studies complete with the posthumous ones broadcast 3 or 4 years ago. A pianist to look out for.

Has anyone else heard this ? Another rave review in IRR today but not so keen on the recording. I am beginning to think this is the finest recording of the Second Concerto I have ever heard .
