PGS at the Wigmore Hall and on BBC Radio 3

 by Gareth Hemmings

I want to share with the PGS community a link to a wonderful concert that was broadcast live on Radio 3 on Mon 7 March, live from the Wigmore Hall by pianist Simon Trpceski and his Makedonissimo ensemble. 

It features the UK premiere of Dr Shahov’s wonderful quintet and I would really recommend you listening to this concert (also with music by Brahms and Connesson) for two reasons:

(1) that the players are superb 

(2) Dr Shahov's piece is stunning and the performance is electric. 

I also thoroughly recommend the album Makedonissimo, featuring a suite of Dr Shahov's arrangements of Macedonian folks songs performed by the same musicians.

 The Radio 3 link (available for 29 days) is:  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000y555

 Even better is the Wigmore Hall link which is a video recording (wonderful quality and with amazing close up shots of the musicians) – the link is: https://wigmore-hall.org.uk/ and you need to create a free account to watch the video.

 Enjoy – and thank you for Pande for creating such exciting music.
