Program notes
Daniil Trifonov in recital at Carnegie Hall, live on medici.tv!
A sensation before he was 20, Daniil Trifonov has proven that he is more than just a young phenomenon. After bursting onto the music scene in 2010, winning the third prize at the prestigious International Frederic Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw, Daniil Trifonov won the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow in 2011 (and received the prize from Valery Gergiev in person), and won the first prize of the Arthur Rubinstein Piano Competition in Tel Aviv the same year. Daniil Trifonov has quickly become one of the most sought-after pianists of his generation. He received rave reviews from his peers and from the press: In 2011, Martha Argerich declared to the Financial Times, "He has everything and more."
This program includes works by Bach (an arrangement of the Fantasy and Fugue for Organ BWV 542), Beethoven (the monumental Sonata, Op. 111), and Liszt (the Transcendental Etudes), about which the Financial Times said, "It was in the Liszt [...] that he came into his own—a titanic performance, projected with a confidence and relish that masked the music’s ferocious technical challenges beneath a mastery of its tempestuous surges and swings of mood; and without a whiff of exaggeration."
