Info for Tales from Russia

Simon Trpčeski presents a fascinating programme of Russian classics, two of which are heard in unfamiliar guises as works for solo piano - Mussorgsky’s Night on a Bare Mountain, in the arrangement by Rimsky and then the latter’s Sheherazade.

The programme starts with Prokofiev’s delightful Tales of the Old Grandmother.

Trpčeski’s new album is a pianistic tour de force and will delight pianophiles.
