Trifonov

Anne-Sophie Mutter, who celebrated the 40th anniversary of her professional debut last year, and Daniil Trifonov, now in his mid-twenties, join forces with three young string-playing alumni of the Mutter Foundation for a new release on DG. The all-Schubert album features the composer’s Piano Quintet in A Major, known as the Trout Quintet; Notturno in E-flat Major, a sublime late work for violin, cello and piano; and arrangements of the songs “Ständchen” and “Ave Maria” for violin and piano.

Daniil Trifonov, without question one of the most gifted artists of his generation, has previously explored his voice and cultural roots through landmark interpretations of European classical repertoire. With his latest album, Trifonov retraces his immigrant’s journey in the “New World”, through American piano scores ranging from jazz and swing to modernism, minimalism and popular soundtracks.

Daniil Trifonov's 2013 recital at Carnegie Hall is a clear demonstration of what this pianist does well, in works well-suited to his talents. Trifonov has a reputation for his dazzling technique, which he has shown to best advantage in performances of Romantic repertoire, and his live readings of Alexander Scriabin's Piano Sonata No. 2 in G sharp minor, "Sonata-Fantasy," Franz Liszt's Piano Sonata in B minor, and Frédèric Chopin's 24 Preludes, Op. 28, offer a well-rounded impression of his extraordinary abilities.

Transcendental is the new solo release by Piano Sensation Daniil Trifonov. His press reviews are consistently out of this world and The Times quote says it all: He is the finest young pianist of our age. After his successful Rachmaninov Variations last year, he has now created another statement to define his extraordinary and growing legacy. It is dedicated to the greatest pianist of his own century: Franz Liszt. The repertoire is Liszts Complete Concert Etudes. These Etudes remain among the most challenging piano pieces ever composed and are rarely recorded or performed.

After the highly acclaimed album “Destination Rachmaninov – Departure” Daniil Trifonov concludes his Rachmaninov project with a coupling of the composer’s Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 3
