Piano Concerto No. 1 in G Minor op. 25

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 pianisticworkout!

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 ofthe orchestral accompaniment, minus the soloist; and an additional version of the accompaniment at -20% slower speed for practice purposes.
