Tales From Russia - Simon Trpceski presents a fascinating program of Russian classics featuring two unfamiliar arrangements for solo piano. The first is Rimsky-Korsakov's arrangement of Mussorgsky's Night on a Bare Mountain. The second is the composer's own Sheherazade. The program opens with Prokofiev's delightful Tales of the Old Gramdmother. This album is a pianistic tour de force and will delight pianophiles.
