  • The repertoire here is a reminder of Felicja Blumental’s protean abilities. Here, she resurrects a piano concerto/patriotic fantasy by Paderewski before assuming the central role on harpsichord for Penderecki's Partita, dedicated to her by the composer.
  • These two wonderful Piano Quintets are written for the unusual combination of four woodwind and piano. Here, Felicja Blumental is joined by select members of London’s New Philharmonia Wind Ensemble, now available on CD for the first time.
  • This recording of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 testifies to Ms Blumental’s skill and musicianship, whose hands were considerably smaller than those of the composer. This disc includes the rare Piano Concerto in F minor by Anton Arensky.
  • This disc presents the beautifully restored recordings by pianist Felicja Blumental of Schumann’s Piano Concerto in A minor, the rarely recorded Piano Concerto in C by Kuhlau as well as Saint-Saëns’ quirky 'Wedding Cake' for piano and orchestra.
  • Felicja Blumental demonstrates her skill and dexterity performing Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2, one of the most challenging works for pianists worldwide. This CD also includes the rarely heard Rondo Brilliant on a Russian Folk Theme by Hummel.
  • This CD partners the wonderfully Romantic Piano Concerto in A minor, by Grieg with the Rhapsodie éspagnole by Liszt, arranged by Busoni. Also on this disc is the charming and rarely recorded Fantasie for Piano and Orchestra by Gabriel Faure.
  • Felicja Blumental performs Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No.1 in B-flat minor (Op.23) with the Orchestra of the Vienna Musikgesellschaft, conducted by Michael Gielen. Originally recorded in 1957, the Concerto has been reissued on 180g vinyl and retains a vivid, transparent and spacious sound due to its remastering, whilst still preserving the authenticity of the original recording.
  • This CD features the piano concertos of Mozart and his contemporary Leopold Kozeluch, whose concerto Felicja Blumental performed with her own cadenza. Since composing this concerto, many of Kozeluch’s achievements have been overshadowed by Beethoven.
  • Brazilian Soprano Annette Celine and pianist Felicja Blumental perform the beautiful songs of Fryderyck Chopin.

  • This second Friends and Rivals disc includes Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1 and Hoffmeister’s rare Piano Concerto in D major (BR0009) featuring pianist Felicja Blumental with the Prague Chamber Orchestra and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra.
  • This disc presents a rare recording of Hekel Tavares’ Concerto in Brazilian Forms, Isaac Albeniz’s vibrantly percussive Spanish Rhapsody, Op. 70 and ambitious Piano Concerto No. 1 (Concierto fantastico), Op. 78.
