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.
