In the second of his recordings for Linn, charismatic pianist Simon Trpceski performs Shostakovich's two Piano Concertos with the outstanding Janácek Philharmonic Ostrava under Orchestre National de France's new Musical Director Cristian Macelaru. Shostakovich's impish First Piano Concerto exudes the carefree attitude and sassy swagger of the young composer, and proves a perfect match with Simon's playful pianism and Andrei Kavalinsky's thundering trumpet. Written as a birthday present (and what a present!) for the composer's son Maxim, the Second Piano Concerto is an uncharacteristically light-hearted piece given the doom and gloom of the time. Simon's fiendish virtuosity and musical intelligence revel in this energetic piano favourite. As a generous encore, Makedonissimo's violinist Aleksandar Krapovski and cellist Alexander Somov join Simon for Shostakovich's Piano Trio No. 2. A must have album!
