Since began to dazzle British audiences as
part of the BBC Radio 3 New Generation
Scheme, Macedonian pianist Simon
Trpceski (Rachmaninov) has become
a beloved presence on the international stage. With numerous awards and
appearances with many of the most significant orchestras in the world, he
belongs to the first rank of today’s
concert musicians. In an era filled with key-thumping would-be prodigies,
Trpceski’s deft, witty and fluid approach presents a welcome relief.
This November, in the Barbican Centre’s 2015/16 classical season, Trpceski will take to
the stage alone for an evening in celebration of Frederic Chopin. There is perhaps no other romantic composer to so
fully explore the possibilities of the piano, and the recital will take in the
full breadth of his remarkable ouerve. From the melancholy delicacy of Two
Nocturnes (1840-1) to the stridency
of Four Marzukas (1835), this is a chance to savour the instrument’s full vibrancy. In Trpsceski’s
trusty hands, they may well prove transcendent.
