Until Monday, January 16, 2006, Ingrid Fliter was a pianist with a glowing reputation among informed piano aficionados but with a minimal public image. Everything changed on that date with the announcement that Ingrid Fliter (pronounced fleet-er) had been anointed as the 2006 Gilmore Artist. The New York Times requested and was granted exclusivity on the announcement and an interview with Ms. Fliter appeared in the January 16th edition of the newspaper.

What separates the Gilmore Artist from the winner of a major piano competition and why does it command such attention? For one thing, the Gilmore is not a competition but a grant bestowed upon a pianist who has piqued the interest of the Gilmore search committee. Those involved in the search project observe their subjects anonymously. Until a decision is made, only members of the committee know the identity of the artists being observed, with the artists totally unaware that they have been under the scrutiny of the Gilmore search committee.

Ms. Fliter is the fifth Gilmore artist since the grant was established in 1991. The previous recipient of the grant in 2002 was Piotr Anderszewski. News of his award appeared on the front page of the Wall Street Journal. Such is the interest generated by selection of the Gilmore artist. The grant is by far the richest and most generous with its cash award of $300,000 for career furtherance. (For more information on the Gilmore and its mission, visit their website at: www.gilmore.org.).

With Ingrid Fliter, the Gilmore has made an inspired choice. The most trenchant appraisal of her artistry came from the music critic of The Washington Post who wrote: “A mature artist in complete command of her instrument. She made the music sound as though it were being born under her fingers.” He really nailed it, for it is the spontaneity of her playing, the personality without excess, and the sheer joy of her music-making that sets Ingrid Fliter apart from her contemporaries.

VAI is proud to launch Ms. Fliter’s discography with two CDs recorded live at Amsterdam’s splendid Concertgebouw concert hall in 2003 and 2005. One is an all-Chopin recital; the other a recital including works by Beethoven and Chopin. She is equally persuasive in the music of both composers; no small feat itself. In addition to this special internet mailing, VAI is making a special offer to our on-line customers in order to help you to get to know the artistry of this remarkable artist. Buy both CDs as a set and receive a 25% discount off the the regular price for both CDs.

Ms. Fliter makes her debut at the Miami International Piano Festival on May 12 of this year. VAI is planning to videotape her recital for a DVD release. Watch our website for further details. To learn more about Ingrid Fliter visit her website at www.ingridfliter.com.
