Simon Trpceski has established himself as one of the most remarkable musicians to have emerged in recent years, performing with many of the world’s greatest orchestras and captivating audiences worldwide. He performs a stunning programme, recorded live at Wigmore Hall, opening with Brahms’s melancholic 3 Intermezzi, "the cradle songs of my sufferings" as the composer once called them, a charming and varied selection that showcases Trpceski’s sensitivity and delicate expression.

Ravel’s eclectic Valses et sentimentales, a dissonant and passionate chain of lilting dances, lie at the heart of this album. The performance concludes with the thrilling Toccata from Poulenc’s Trois pièces: a brilliant demonstration of Trpceski’s colourful and virtuosic playing.

Recorded live at the Wigmore Hall, London, on 19 July 2014
