Grammy Award-winning Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov is well known to classical music lovers around the world. His appearances at the major concert halls are always highly anticipated events commanding sold-out houses. Winner of Gramophone’s 2016 Artist of the Year award, Trifinov has made a spectacular entrance to the classical music scene as a solo artist and a high caliber champion of the concerto repertoire.

Notorious for his emotional interpretation of the works by Chopin and Rachmaninoff, this season he takes on the scores by Beethoven, Schumann, and Prokofiev. The June 2019 performance of this program at the Barbican in London received rave reviews from the music critics and the public.

Daniil Trifonov, 26-year-old Russian pianist, is already well known to the audiences around the world for his amazing technique and poetic sensitivity in delivering the most challenging programs. The selection of works for this year Summer concert at Caramoor is exactly in that category.

Trifonov became an international sensation in 2011 when he won the first prize in the Tchaikovsky competition.  From that time on he is a regular at major concert halls with dedicated fans eagerly anticipating his every performance. And he never disappoints. The New Yorker magazine in its review of this year performance at Carnegie Hall notes that Trifonov “creates furor”.

In the program at Caramoor, Trifonov starts with Schumann including Kreisleriana; followed by a selection of Preludes and Fugues by Shostakovich and ending with  the movements from Stravinsky’s Petrushka. Expect a lot of energy and clarity in tone as these serious pieces require from a performer. Trifonov’s virtuosity and depth will delight you and make that night an affair to remember!
