Shostakovich: Piano Concertos & Piano Trio No. 2

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.
