Scheherazade through a monochrome veil: Simon Trpčeski at Wigmore Hall

Simon Trpčeski ***

Wigmore Hall, 2nd May 2018

Take some stiff paper and a stick of charcoal, then attempt to draw Vincent van Gogh’s Wheatfield with Cypresses. However skilled the sketch, it’s never going to be able to replicate the colours of the original. I harboured similar doubts about Simon Trpčeski tackling Scheherazade on the piano at Wigmore Hall yesterday evening. Surely, however skilled the playing, the results would be aurally limited compared with the richness of Rimsky-Korsakov’s orchestral palette?
