Mendelssohn Concerto No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 25 [HL:400199]

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, 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 printed music score and audio containing a complete version with soloist, in digitally remastered stereo; then a second recording of the orchestral accompaniment, minus the soloist for practice purposes. The audio is accessed online using the unique code inside each book and can be streamed or downloaded. The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right.
