Mendelssohn - Piano Concerto No 1 Op 25 Bk/cd

Performed by David Syme, piano

Accompaniment: Stuttgart Symphony Orchestra

Conductor: Emil Kahn



Felix Mendelssohn's famous G-minor concerto is a showpiece which demonstrates the composer's pianistic brilliance. In three movements played without a break, it is one of the most revered concerti of the early Romantic Era. Lovely writing for the instrument abounds at every turn, and a thrilling finale makes for a great pianistic workout! Much of this concerto is of only moderate difficulty. Includes a high-quality printed music score and a compact disc containing a complete version with soloist, in digitally remastered stereo; then a second recording of the orchestral accompaniment, minus the soloist; and an additional version of the accompaniment at -20% slower speed for practice purposes.
