Daniil Trifonov plays Schumann, Shostakovich and Stravinsky: a rare London solo recital from the most talked-about pianist of his generation.
Trifonov is still only in his mid-20s, but critics are already running out of words to describe his playing: This solo recital places him firmly in the Russian virtuoso tradition.
Stravinsky’s Three Pieces from Petrushka and Schumann’s Kreisleriana are both touchstones of master-pianism. But what adds another dimension to this recital is Trifonov’s choice of Schumann’s Kinderszenen and Shostakovich’s Preludes and Fugues: music to stretch mind and soul, as well as the fingers. As that same critic put it in October 2015, ’Trifonov’s playing has it all‘.
