Daniil Trifonov explores Latin American treasures on 'Mi Historia Americana – Sur'

&ldquo;Daniil Trifonov&rsquo;s latest album bristles with virtuosity&rdquo;&nbsp;★★★★★ Financial Times, on&nbsp;My American Story &ndash; North
On the second leg of his autobiographical musical journey through the Americas, the pianist delves into the South American and Caribbean repertoires
&ldquo;Latin American music has distinctive qualities: inspirations from nature, traditional dances and songs, and evocations of faith&rdquo; &ndash; Daniil Trifonov
Trifonov is joined by the S&atilde;o Paulo Symphony Orchestra and Gonzalo Grau for Barroso&rsquo;s&nbsp;Aquarela&nbsp;do Brasil&nbsp;and the world premiere recording of Golijov&rsquo;s&nbsp;Cuadros del Sur, both arranged especially for this project
He also performs solo works by Gabriela Lena Frank, Ginastera, Guarnieri, Lecuona, Villa-Lobos and others, as well as his own&nbsp;Tango
The album will be released on 2&nbsp;October 2026
Daniil Trifonov&rsquo;s&nbsp;My American Story &ndash; North&nbsp;came out in 2024 to widespread critical acclaim. In this second volume of his musical journey across the Americas,&nbsp;Mi Historia Americana &ndash; Sur&nbsp;(My American Story &ndash; South), the pianist shares a wide-ranging selection of his Latin American and Caribbean musical discoveries. Through both solo and orchestral works, Trifonov&rsquo;s travels &nbsp;take him from Cuba and the Dominican Republic to Brazil, Peru and Argentina. In many senses, this album is his most personal to date, given the close links he has forged with the region &ndash; largely through his marriage to fellow pianist Judith Ram&iacute;rez, who was born in the Dominican Republic. &ldquo;Like Latin America itself,&rdquo; says Trifonov, &ldquo;the repertoire is vast and full of variety. There are many pieces that are popular in the region yet unfamiliar in other parts of the world. I wanted to present a picture of the musical richness this literature has to offer.&rdquo;
The two orchestral works on the album (Aquarela do Brasil&nbsp;and&nbsp;Cuadros del Sur) were recorded in February 2026 in S&atilde;o Paulo, while Trifonov was in Brazil for concerts featuring this repertoire. He was joined by members of the&nbsp;S&atilde;o Paulo Symphony Orchestra (OSESP)&nbsp;and Venezuelan multi-instrumentalist/arranger/musical director&nbsp;Gonzalo Grau. The concerts were filmed by&nbsp;Deutsche Grammophon, with a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.stage-plus.com/">STAGE+</a>&nbsp;premiere planned for a future date.
The album will be released digitally, on CD (2 discs) and on vinyl (3 LPs) on&nbsp;2&nbsp;October 2026, with a 5‑track vinyl disc entitled&nbsp;The&nbsp;Encores&nbsp;out the same day, to tie in with Trifonov&rsquo;s upcoming recital tour. The pianist&rsquo;s transcription of Gustavo Santaolalla&rsquo;s main theme from&nbsp;The Last of Us&nbsp;comes out as a standalone digital single on&nbsp;24&nbsp;July. A series of digital tracks from the album will be shared between then and 2&nbsp;October, each accompanied by a performance video.
Mi Historia Americana &ndash; Sur&nbsp;opens with Gonzalo Grau&rsquo;s arrangement of Ary Barroso&rsquo;s hugely popular song&nbsp;Aquarela do Brasil. Grau also created&nbsp;Cuadros&nbsp;del Sur&nbsp;(&ldquo;Pictures of the South&rdquo;) specifically for this Trifonov project, a co-commission by OSESP, Deutsche Grammophon, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and the Aspen Music Festival. The music is drawn from Argentinian composer Osvaldo Golijov&rsquo;s choral-orchestral work&nbsp;La Pasi&oacute;n seg&uacute;n San Marcos, with formal inspiration provided by Mussorgsky&rsquo;s&nbsp;Pictures at an Exhibition&nbsp;&ndash; Grau alternates some of the most varied sections of Golijov&rsquo;s&nbsp;Pasi&oacute;n&nbsp;with a recurring &ldquo;promenade&rdquo; theme. Trifonov and the orchestra gave the world premiere performance in&nbsp;February, and present the first recording here. OSESP also becomes the first Brazilian orchestra ever to appear on a DG recording.
Brazil is further represented by Villa-Lobos&rsquo;s&nbsp;Bachianas brasileiras No.&nbsp;4&nbsp;and gems by Mozart Camargo Guarnieri and Oscar Lorenzo Fern&aacute;ndez. Meanwhile, from Argentina we also hear music by Ginastera (Milonga&nbsp;and Second Piano Sonata) as well as a Tango, not from Buenos Aires but composed by Trifonov himself.
Much of the inspiration for this album came to the pianist during an extended stay in his wife&rsquo;s homeland. &ldquo;My family and I were isolated for months in the Dominican Republic during the Covid pandemic,&rdquo; he recalls. &ldquo;It was during that lockdown period that I finally found time to discover a wealth of outstanding Latin American piano music.&rdquo; From the Caribbean, he has chosen contrasting works by contemporary Dominican composer Michel Camilo and his compatriots Juan Francisco Garc&iacute;a and Rafael Bullumba Landestoy, and two pieces by Cuba&rsquo;s most famous composer, Ernesto Lecuona.
There is one more stop on Trifonov&rsquo;s journey &ndash; Peru &ndash; whose music is represented by Gabriela Lena Frank&rsquo;s&nbsp;Sonata andina. A US-born composer with Peruvian roots, Frank was recently awarded the 2026 Pulitzer Prize in Music for her orchestral work&nbsp;Picaflor: A future myth. &ldquo;As with many composers featured on this album,&rdquo; Trifonov explains, &ldquo;Frank blends elements of western classical and folk music traditions in complex, captivating ways: the solo piano [in&nbsp;Sonata andina] evokes traditional Bolivian drums and Peruvian flutes, and imitates Latin guitars and instruments such as the marimba. It&rsquo;s a colourful musical tapestry.&rdquo;
Daniil Trifonov will perform this repertoire extensively in the 2026-27 season. Upcoming highlights include a Latin American tour with the Berliner Philharmoniker and performances of&nbsp;Cuadros del Sur&nbsp;in Europe.

Daniil Trifonov releases his own transcription of The Last of Us theme as a digital single

Pianist&nbsp;Daniil Trifonov&nbsp;releases his&nbsp;own transcription&nbsp;of&nbsp;Gustavo Santaolalla&rsquo;s theme from&nbsp;The Last of Us&nbsp;as a digital single on&nbsp;24 July&nbsp;on&nbsp;Deutsche Grammophon. In his version, he recasts the theme from the internationally successful video game franchise and its multi-award-winning TV adaptation for solo piano. Originally written for guitar, the piece takes on a distinctive new character in Trifonov&rsquo;s transcription for piano.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; With this single, Trifonov also offers a first glimpse of his forthcoming&nbsp;American Story&nbsp;project, whose second chapter,&nbsp;Mi Historia Americana, is due for release on&nbsp;2 October.
The Argentinian composer and two-time Academy Award winner Gustavo Santaolalla created a highly recognizable theme defined by its haunting and melancholic character. For Trifonov, the atmosphere of the original was central. To evoke the guitar&rsquo;s subtle tonalities, he also worked with the strings of the piano in shaping the transcription. The result is a piece that preserves the theme&rsquo;s character while reimagining its minimalist tension for the piano.

Daniil Trifonov releases his new Tchaikovsky Album

Trifonov explores the composer&rsquo;s music for solo piano, from the rarely performed Piano Sonata op.&nbsp;80 to the Theme and Variations op.19/6 and Children&rsquo;s Album
Out on 3 October 2025, the new album ends with his rendition of Mikhail Pletnev&rsquo;s colourful Concert Suite from the Ballet &ldquo;The Sleeping Beauty&rdquo;
&ldquo;One of the most striking qualities of [Trifonov&rsquo;s] artistry lies in his readiness to explore lesser-known corners of the piano repertoire&rdquo;
Seen and Heard International
In June 2011, Daniil Trifonov shot to fame with a spectacular victory at the 14th International Tchaikovsky Competition. Now the pianist is devoting an entire double album to some of the music Tchaikovsky wrote for solo piano. Revealing the composer&rsquo;s more intimate, private side, TCHAIKOVSKY is threaded through with themes of childhood and mothers, youth and family. In addition to the early Piano Sonata in C&nbsp;sharp minor, the Theme and Variations in F major and Children&rsquo;s Album, Trifonov has recorded the Concert Suite from the Ballet &ldquo;The Sleeping Beauty&rdquo; created by a young Mikhail Pletnev in 1978.
TCHAIKOVSKY will be released by Deutsche Grammophon digitally and on 2 CDs on 3&nbsp;October 2025, and on vinyl (2&nbsp;LPs) on 17&nbsp;October. The Andante from Pletnev&rsquo;s suite will be issued for streaming and download on 25&nbsp;July, followed by &ldquo;Sweet Dreams&rdquo; (Children&rsquo;s Album) on 22&nbsp;August and &ldquo;Silver Fairy&rdquo; (The Sleeping Beauty) on 12&nbsp;September. The two Sleeping Beauty tracks will be accompanied by e‑videos from a performance filmed earlier this season at Barcelona&rsquo;s historic Palau de la M&uacute;sica Catalana. The full recital, in which the Tchaikovsky Sonata and The Sleeping Beauty suite frame works by Chopin and Barber, is available to stream on <a href="https://www.stage-plus.com/video/vod_concert_APNM8GRFDPHMASJKBSS36C8">STAGE+</a>.
Tchaikovsky wrote the Piano Sonata in C sharp minor in 1865, during his final year at the St Petersburg Conservatory, but the work was only published after his death. It is, says Trifonov, a neglected masterpiece, one full of touches of genius (the composer repurposed its third movement for the Scherzo of his Symphony No. 1) and changing moods, from the lyrical main theme of the Andante to the youthful fire and exuberance elsewhere in the sonata.
Trifonov discovered the Th&egrave;me original et variations in F&nbsp;major via a recording made during the inaugural Tchaikovsky Competition in 1958 by its eventual winner, the 23-year-old Van Cliburn. Originally conceived as a finale to the Six Morceaux for solo piano op. 19 of 1873, this is now often heard as a standalone piece. With affinities to the pianism of Schumann, the simple theme and its 12&nbsp;variations form a satisfying whole, offering moments of grace, playfulness and brilliance.
Schumann was unquestionably the inspiration behind Tchaikovsky&rsquo;s Children&rsquo;s Album, written in 1878 to emulate the former&rsquo;s collections for young pianists and thus enrich the repertoire. There is darkness as well as light in this set of 24 pieces, perhaps reflecting the fact that Tchaikovsky&rsquo;s happy childhood had come to an abrupt end with the death of his mother when he was just 14. Together with the Sonata and Th&egrave;me original et variations, it offers a glimpse of what Trifonov sees as a &ldquo;private dimension to Tchaikovsky &ndash; a spirit conditioned by memories of youth and family&rdquo; and, for both composer and pianist, stands as a kind of homage to mothers and maternal love.
The album ends with the suite from The Sleeping Beauty realised in 1978 by the then 21‑year-old pianist and conductor Mikhail Pletnev. That same year, Pletnev &ndash; like Van Cliburn 20 years earlier and Trifonov 33 years later &ndash; won the International Tchaikovsky Competition. Calling the suite &ldquo;a masterful piano work in its own right&rdquo;, Trifonov praises the organic manner in which Pletnev weaves together music from different parts of the ballet score.
Daniil Trifonov presents his Tchaikovsky-based recital again at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens (19 July), and at the Verbier, Menuhin and Salzburg Festivals (23/27/31 July). He rounds off the summer with Rachmaninoff&rsquo;s Second and Third Piano Concertos at the Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Daniel Harding (19/21 August).

Daniil Trifonov presents his new Album My American Story  – North

&ldquo;One of the most mesmerising pianists of our time&rdquo;&nbsp; Bachtrack
Daniil Trifonov sets out to explore the music of the Americas
Yannick N&eacute;zet-S&eacute;guin and The Philadelphia Orchestra&nbsp; join the pianist for Gershwin&rsquo;s Concerto in F and&nbsp; the world premiere recording of Mason Bates&rsquo;s Piano Concerto Trifonov also performs solo works by Adams, Cage, Copland, Corigliano and more &nbsp;&ldquo;I want to share many of the different genres, aspects and directions&nbsp; found in American music&rdquo; Daniil Trifonov
For his latest Deutsche Grammophon project, Daniil Trifonov is embarking on a pianistic journey across the Americas. Set for release on 4&nbsp;October 2024, the first of two volumes, My American Story &ndash; North, takes in a wide range of repertoire from the United States, the country the pianist has called home for almost half his life. The album ranges from jazz and swing to modernism, minimalism and popular soundtracks, covering a century of US music for solo piano or piano and orchestra. &ldquo;I did not intend to record an anthology,&rdquo; says Trifonov. &ldquo;These are simply favourites of mine that speak to me on a musical level.&rdquo; Joined by The Philadelphia Orchestra and its Music and Artistic Director, Yannick N&eacute;zet-S&eacute;guin, in George Gershwin&rsquo;s much-loved Concerto in F and the world premiere of the brand-new concerto written for him by Mason Bates, Trifonov also performs solo works by John Adams, John Cage, Aaron Copland, John Corigliano, Dave Grusin, Thomas Newman, Art Tatum and Bill Evans.
My American Story &ndash; North will be released digitally, on 2 CDs and as an 3-LP vinyl version (offering extended liner notes, additional photos and two bonus tracks). One of these, Trifonov&rsquo;s transcription of &ldquo;Secunda&rdquo; from the soundtrack to the popular video game The Elder Scrolls&nbsp;V: Skyrim was released as a digital single on 19 July. This will be followed on 23 August by his transcription of Victor Young&rsquo;s When I Fall in Love (as interpreted by Bill Evans), which will be accompanied by a video; on 6 September by John Adams&rsquo;s China Gates; and on 20&nbsp;September by the main theme from Thomas Newman&rsquo;s American Beauty. A video for the finale of Gershwin&rsquo;s Concerto in&nbsp;F comes out on the same day as the album, 4&nbsp;October.
Daniil Trifonov moved to the US aged 17 to study with Sergei Babayan at the Cleveland Institute of Music (CIM). As well as helping him prepare for the 2010 Chopin Competition and 2011 Tchaikovsky Competition, his teacher also introduced him to films, literature and other musical genres, including the jazz piano of Art Tatum. Still friends today, Trifonov and Babayan released the critically acclaimed Rachmaninoff For Two earlier this year (&ldquo;a winning mix of limitless pianism, deep knowledge and visionary boldness&rdquo; &ndash; Gramophone).
Forming the backbone of My American Story &ndash; North are two dazzling works for piano and orchestra written a century apart. Describing Gershwin&rsquo;s Concerto in F of 1925 as a &ldquo;fountain of tunes&rdquo; by a &ldquo;great melodist&rdquo;, Trifonov recalls being captivated by the piano&rsquo;s first entry and by a later section that made him think of &ldquo;a chase scene in a black-and-white movie, through the dark streets of Chicago!&rdquo;. Ideal support is provided by Yannick N&eacute;zet-S&eacute;guin and The Philadelphia Orchestra, who capture all the colour, poetry, energy and ebullience of Gershwin&rsquo;s writing.
It was with the same musicians that Trifonov gave the world premiere of Mason Bates&rsquo; Piano Concerto in January 2022. That same enthusiastically-received performance (&ldquo;the concerto faced its historic predecessors (Rachmaninoff included) with fire-breathing, head-on audacity&rdquo; &ndash; Classical Voice North America; &ldquo;Stunning. Staggering. Stupendous.&rdquo; &ndash; Bachtrack) is the one included here.
Co-commissioned for the pianist by The Philadelphia Orchestra, the Concerto traverses a different soundworld in each movement. The first, as Trifonov observes, pays tribute to the Renaissance, with strumming strings and dance-like rhythms, while the second leaps forward into the Romantic era, with what he calls a &ldquo;soulful conversation between the orchestra and the pianist&rdquo;. Bates himself labels the third movement a &ldquo;jazz-minimalist finale, alight with mercurial humor and lopsided grooves&rdquo;.
While both concertos are full of challenges, when asked which is the most demanding work on the album, Trifonov names Copland&rsquo;s Piano Variations. &ldquo;It requires quite a commitment, both emotional and physical,&rdquo; he explains. &ldquo;If you play it twice you&rsquo;re tired, so the recording sessions were hard.&rdquo;
The other solo pieces on the album include tributes to jazz pianism &ndash; Trifonov&rsquo;s own transcriptions of Art Tatum&rsquo;s take on I Cover the Waterfront and Bill Evans&rsquo; version of When I Fall in Love &ndash; and to Hollywood, represented by excerpts from the soundtracks to American Beauty and The Firm. And finally, there are contrasting minimalist gems by John Corigliano and John Adams, and a timeless classic by Cage, captured in a special New York field recording: 4&rsquo;33 (Cage@Columbus).
Trifonov&rsquo;s American travels have also taken him south of the US, not least because his wife and fellow pianist Judith Ramirez (whom he met at CIM) is from the Dominican Republic. Volume&nbsp;2 in this recording project, My American Story &ndash; South (to be released at a later date), will paint an equally rich and eclectic musical portrait of Latin America.

Babayan & Trifonov: Two of a Kind

Daniil Trifonov and his friend and mentor, Sergei Babayan, present their first full album of piano duets. Rachmaninoff for Two contains performances of the Russian composer&rsquo;s two Suites for two pianos and the two-piano version of his Symphonic Dances, together with Trifonov&rsquo;s own transcription of the Adagio from Symphony No.&nbsp;2. Set for release by Deutsche Grammophon digitally and on 2&nbsp;CDs on 29&nbsp;March 2024, the album pays tribute to one of the world&rsquo;s most beloved pianist-composers, as part of this year&rsquo;s Rachmaninoff&nbsp;150 celebrations.
The duo recorded Rachmaninoff for Two at the Vienna Konzerthaus soon after performing there in May 2023 as part of their acclaimed series of Rachmaninoff concerts across Europe. Austria&rsquo;s Die Presse described their Vienna concert as a &ldquo;keyboard virtuosos&rsquo; festival&rdquo;, and the Wiener Zeitung hailed the &ldquo;ravishing kaleidoscope of emotions and colours&rdquo; achieved in the Symphonic Dances, while another reviewer, writing about their performance in Brussels, called Babayan and Trifonov &ldquo;worthy heirs&rdquo; to Rachmaninoff&rsquo;s &ldquo;human complexity&rdquo; and noted their &ldquo;incredible symbiotic capacity&rdquo; (Classykeo.com).
Discussing their chosen repertoire for the tour and album, Sergei Babayan acknowledges Rachmaninoff as a genius of the highest calibre, both as a composer and as a pianist who appeared to be blessed with four hands. &ldquo;When he writes for two players at two pianos, we mortals have the chance to experience how he played on just one piano,&rdquo; he observes.
Rachmaninoff&rsquo;s Suite No.&nbsp;1 began life in 1893 under the title Fantaisie (Tableaux). The young composer dedicated the work to Tchaikovsky, a member of the Moscow Conservatory examining committee that had just awarded him an exceptional 5+ (A+) for his graduation piece, the opera Aleko. The Suite&rsquo;s four movements, or &ldquo;musical pictures&rdquo; as Rachmaninoff called them, were inspired respectively by poems by Mikhail Lermontov, Lord Byron, Fyodor Tyutchev and Aleksey Khomyakov. The music&rsquo;s rhapsodic qualities are enhanced by the bell-like sounds created in &ldquo;Les larmes&rdquo;, an evocation of the funeral bells of St Sophia&rsquo;s Cathedral in Novgorod, and again in the final movement, &ldquo;P&acirc;ques&rdquo;, which also contains a quote from the Orthodox Easter chant &ldquo;Christ is Risen&rdquo;.
The Suite No.&nbsp;2 in C major for two pianos Op.&nbsp;17 was composed during a visit to Italy in 1901, while Rachmaninoff was working on his Second Piano Concerto. Many of its themes were originally written for but not included in the concerto, with the relationship between the two works clearly reflected in the Suite&rsquo;s opening &ldquo;Alla marcia&rdquo; and dashing &ldquo;Tarantelle&rdquo; finale. For Sergei Babayan, this work represents the &ldquo;joy of life&rdquo;.
Rachmaninoff arranged the Symphonic Dances (1940), his last original score and among his greatest compositions, for two pianos while still working on its orchestration. He and Vladimir Horowitz gave the transcription&rsquo;s premiere at a private party in Beverly Hills in 1942. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s quite a dark piece,&rdquo; notes Daniil Trifonov. &ldquo;The Suites are the work of a young man, full of hope, but the Symphonic Dances is more complex.&rdquo; The last and longest of its three movements includes quotes from the ancient Dies irae chant and &ldquo;Blessed art Thou, O Lord&rdquo; melody from Rachmaninoff&rsquo;s All-Night Vigil (1915), symbolic of Death on the one hand and Resurrection to eternal life on the other.
&ldquo;The Symphonic Dances has its own style of orchestral writing, which works very well on piano,&rdquo; comments Daniil Trifonov. &ldquo;There are some benefits with the two-piano version: for example, in terms of timing, you can do all kinds of rubato on the piano which would be impossible with full orchestra.&rdquo;
Trifonov too is a pianist-composer, and his transcription of the third movement of his eminent predecessor&rsquo;s Second Symphony provides the perfect prelude on this new album. He has inventively reworked this yearning Adagio, full of beautiful melodic writing, to suit his duo partnership with Babayan, built on mutual trust and a unique, intangible quality akin to a kind of musical telepathy.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a gift to have Daniil next to me onstage in this extraordinary music, because you feel there&rsquo;s someone there who understands you, without looking, without words,&rdquo; says Babayan. &ldquo;Maybe it&rsquo;s because we spent time together as teacher and student, but I don&rsquo;t think that is necessarily so. It was there from the first lesson, when he brought Chopin and we began working. I had the feeling that he took more from me in two weeks than people who had studied with me for five years. So it&rsquo;s a gift that we met. In my life, this has only happened with two people: Daniil and Martha Argerich.&rdquo;

Destination Rachmaninov:  A Journey in Four Concertos

Hailed as &ldquo;peerless today as a Rachmaninov interpreter&rdquo; (The Guardian), pianist Daniil Trifonov has in recent years made milestone recordings of all four of the composer&rsquo;s piano concertos and the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Accompanied by Yannick N&eacute;zet-S&eacute;guin and The Philadelphia Orchestra &ndash; an ensemble known for its close, historic ties to Rachmaninov&rsquo;s music &ndash; Trifonov now presents all five works for piano and orchestra in a single album, Destination Rachmaninov.
Released to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the composer&rsquo;s birth, the set also comprises Trifonov&rsquo;s transcriptions of the much-loved Vocalise and Silver Sleigh Bells, a bravura arrangement of the opening movement of Rachmaninov&rsquo;s The Bells, as well as Rachmaninov&rsquo;s own delightful transcription of three movements from the Partita BWV 1006 by J.S. Bach, originally for solo violin.
The physical product, consisting of 3&nbsp;CDs and a High-Fidelity Pure Audio Blu-ray disc, includes the debut CD release of an extended version of the Vocalise, while the digital release features the first Dolby Atmos versions of the original Destination Rachmaninov albums (Arrival and Departure) and of the shorter, e-single recording of the Vocalise. The album will be issued by Deutsche Grammophon today, in time to mark the composer&rsquo;s birthday on 1&nbsp;April.
Rachmaninov wrote his First Piano Concerto in 1891, when he was just 18. It is, as Trifonov says, a work &ldquo;full of aspirations and Romantic ideals&rdquo;. Trifonov performs it here in the composer&rsquo;s revision from 1917, which retains the original&rsquo;s openness and optimism. The polyphonic writing of the Second, composed in 1900-01, reflects Rachmaninov&rsquo;s love of Bach. This work, for Trifonov, &ldquo;is where idea, form, technique and lyrical inspiration find their mature balance and expression&rdquo;. The pianist further sees the epic Third Concerto (1909) as a work of &ldquo;a solemn intimacy&rdquo; &ndash; as &ldquo;the composer&rsquo;s inner conversation with himself, and with God&rdquo;. Dating from 1926, ten years after Rachmaninov had left Russia, the Fourth Concerto expresses how the composer had absorbed the varied, cosmopolitan influences he found in the West: the music of Gershwin and Debussy, the artistic movements of Futurism, Dadaism and Surrealism, and the comic genius of Charlie Chaplin.
The Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini of 1934, meanwhile, proved to be Rachmaninov&rsquo;s final work for piano and orchestra. This virtuosic set of 24 variations is both tautly constructed and full of creative vitality and expressive intensity. &ldquo;I think of the Rhapsody,&rdquo; notes Trifonov, &ldquo;like a miniature ballet &ndash; a dance with Fate over Paganini&rsquo;s soul.&rdquo;
Throughout this epic project, the pianist is superbly accompanied by The Philadelphia Orchestra under the direction of its Music Director, Yannick N&eacute;zet-S&eacute;guin. Rachmaninov himself enjoyed a 30‑year relationship with The Philadelphia Orchestra, with whom he premiered the Rhapsody and Fourth Concerto, and recorded a number of his other compositions as well. N&eacute;zet-S&eacute;guin and the current Philadelphia players demonstrate the continuity of their Rachmaninov tradition in their string section&rsquo;s virtuosity and warmth, and the unmistakable timbre of the orchestra&rsquo;s brass and winds.
The physical edition of Destination Rachmaninov also presents the concertos, Trifonov&rsquo;s transcriptions of The Silver Sleigh Bells and Vocalise (short version) and Rachmaninov&rsquo;s Bach transcription on a High-Fidelity Pure Audio Blu-ray disc. In the year in which Deutsche Grammophon celebrates its 125th anniversary, this pioneering step in audio presentation reflects the label&rsquo;s ongoing commitment to the future of audio.

Songs of Love, Life and Death:  Matthias Goerne Concludes his Lieder Trilogy with Daniil Trifonov

Matthias Goerne&rsquo;s first two Lieder albums for Deutsche Grammophon, recorded with Jan Lisiecki and Seong-Jin Cho respectively, earned rave reviews and multiple awards. The world-renowned German baritone now brings his planned trilogy to a close in collaboration with Daniil Trifonov. Their programme contains visionary meditations on the meaning of life and death, as expressed in song by Schumann, Brahms, Wolf, Berg and Shostakovich. Matthias Goerne &middot; Daniil Trifonov &ndash; Lieder, set for release on 10 June 2022, finds two artists at the height of their powers in works that expose the heart of the human condition.
The album will be preceded by two e-singles, with &ldquo;Im wundersch&ouml;nen Monat Mai&rdquo; from Schumann&rsquo;s Dichterliebe released on 22 April and &ldquo;Denn es gehet dem Menschen wie dem Vieh&rdquo; from Brahms&rsquo;s Vier ernste Ges&auml;nge on 20 May. Music-lovers will also soon have the chance to enjoy Goerne and Trifonov&rsquo;s performances of all the works on the album as captured live at the Berlin Philharmonie in January 2019. The artists&rsquo; acclaimed recital will be streamed on DG&nbsp;Stage on 24 June 2022.
Matthias Goerne &middot; Daniil Trifonov &ndash; Lieder includes Schumann&rsquo;s Dichterliebe (1840), a cycle of sixteen songs written in the year of the composer&rsquo;s marriage, and Wolf&rsquo;s Michelangelo-Lieder (1897), three profound reflections on the nature of time, mortality and love written just months before Wolf&rsquo;s final descent into madness. Goerne and Trifonov open with Berg&rsquo;s Vier Ges&auml;nge Op.&nbsp;2, four short yet enchanting evocations of sleep and the infinite universe of dreams. Their voyage into the metaphysics of being also features three songs from Shostakovich&rsquo;s Suite on Verses of Michelangelo Buonarroti (1974), completed just over a year before the Soviet composer&rsquo;s death. The album concludes with Brahms&rsquo;s Vier ernste Ges&auml;nge (1896), the last of his works published in his lifetime, in which death takes its inevitable place in the natural order of things. The song-cycle&rsquo;s prophetic words, matched to music of solace, are drawn from biblical texts, including the Book of Ecclesiastes.
Since the start of his career in the early 1990s, Goerne has worked with many of the world&rsquo;s leading pianists, Christoph Eschenbach, Alfred Brendel, Elisabeth Leonskaja and Leif Ove Andsnes among them. He readily accepted an invitation to record landmarks of the Lieder repertoire with three of Deutsche Grammophon&rsquo;s outstanding young pianists. The first in his series of recordings, an album of Beethoven Lieder and songs with Jan Lisiecki (March 2020), received Diapason d&rsquo;Or and Edison Klassiek awards. It was followed in April 2021 by Im Abendrot (&ldquo;At Sunset&rdquo;), an anthology of Lieder by Wagner, Pfitzner and Richard Strauss recorded with Seong-Jin Cho. Im Abendrot was chosen by Australia&rsquo;s Limelight magazine as its 2021 Vocal Recording of the Year.
This third and final album sees Goerne create another astonishing duo partnership, with Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov responding to every emotional nuance of their chosen works. &ldquo;From the first moment we worked together I was thrilled by Daniil&rsquo;s serious approach &ndash; right down to the last detail &ndash; and by the reflectiveness that informs his poetic sensibility,&rdquo; comments the baritone. &ldquo;It was fascinating to witness the boundlessness, maturity and understanding that he brought to these songs.&rdquo;
The two artists&rsquo; intuitive and intense partnership in this repertoire was originally forged in recitals given at the 2017 Salzburg Festival, Die Glocke in Bremen and New York&rsquo;s Carnegie Hall. Reviewing the Bremen recital, Der Spiegel commended their performance for its &ldquo;complete symbiosis of piano and voice&rdquo;. Goerne&rsquo;s &ldquo;powerful vocal stature&rdquo;, it concluded, &ldquo;provided a potent counterpart to Trifonov&rsquo;s versatile elegance. This great occasion witnessed two strong individualists interacting with uncanny unanimity.&rdquo;
Coinciding with the release of Matthias Goerne &middot; Daniil Trifonov &ndash; Lieder, the duo are now set to perform the full programme again at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw (9&nbsp;June), the Klavier-Festival Ruhr in Wuppertal (11&nbsp;June), Hamburg&rsquo;s Laeiszhalle (13&nbsp;June) and the Paris Philharmonie (15&nbsp;June).

Daniil Trifonov Presents 'Bach – The Art of Life'

Er gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Pianisten der Gegenwart. Jetzt ver&ouml;ffentlicht Daniil Trifonov bei Deutsche Grammophon sein erstes Bach-Album.

Recently announced as winner of an OPUS KLASSIK 2021 Instrumentalist of the Year award, Daniil Trifonov now presents his new Deutsche Grammophon solo recording, Bach &ndash; The Art of Life. Centred around Johann Sebastian Bach&rsquo;s late masterpiece The Art of Fugue, the new double album reflects Trifonov&rsquo;s insight into the family life and music-making of one of the greatest composers of all time. Works by four of Johann Sebastian&rsquo;s sons, as well as two pieces known to have been Bach family favourites are also included in a programme taking in everything from light-hearted, dance-like pieces to the haunting Chaconne in D&nbsp;minor. Already renowned for his recordings of the Romantic repertoire, Daniil Trifonov brings the same magical combination of vitality, sensitivity and flawless technical command to these works of an earlier age. Bach &ndash; The Art of Life will be released today.
Trifonov was named Instrumentalist of the Year/Piano by the jury of the OPUS KLASSIK Awards for Silver Age, his double album of music by Prokofiev, Stravinsky and Scriabin. He is set to accept the prestigious honour and perform at the annual event&rsquo;s gala at the Berlin Konzerthaus on Sunday 10 October. The ceremony will be televised by OPUS Klassik&rsquo;s media partner ZDF at 10.15pm (CET).

Daniil Trifonov announces new solo recording 'BACH: The Art of Life'

Daniil Trifonov presents his new Deutsche Grammophon solo recording, Bach &ndash; The Art of Life. Centred around Johann Sebastian Bach&rsquo;s late masterpiece The Art of Fugue, the new double album reflects Trifonov&rsquo;s insight into the family life and music-making of one of the greatest composers of all time. Works by four of Johann Sebastian&rsquo;s sons, as well as two pieces known to have been Bach family favourites are also included in a programme taking in everything from lighthearted dance-like pieces to the mournful majesty of the Chaconne in D&nbsp;minor. Already renowned for his recordings of the Romantic repertoire, Daniil Trifonov brings the same magical combination of vitality, sensitivity and flawless technical command to these works of an earlier age. Bach &ndash; The Art of Life will be released on 8 October 2021.
The album begins in lighter vein with a family portrait in the shape of four charming works by his gifted sons: Johann Christian&rsquo;s Sonata No.&nbsp;5 in A&nbsp;major, Wilhelm Friedemann&rsquo;s Polonaise No.&nbsp;8 in E minor, Carl Philipp Emanuel&rsquo;s Rondo in C&nbsp;minor and Johann Christoph Friedrich&rsquo;s Variations on &ldquo;Ah, vous dirai-je, maman&rdquo;. Trifonov notes that it was common in Germany at time for families to have their own specialisation and Bach, himself descended from musicians, clearly passed on his gifts: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s an incredible parental achievement that four of his children wrote wonderful music! And each had his own individual voice.&rdquo;
Trifonov also presents a selection of music from the notebook Johann Sebastian gave his second wife Anna Magdalena in 1725, which features works by family members and others. As well as pieces by Bach himself, perhaps used when he was teaching his children, Trifonov has chosen a Minuet by Christian Petzold and a love song: Gottfried Heinrich St&ouml;lzel&rsquo;s aria &ldquo;Bist du bei mir&rdquo;. As he points out, &ldquo;Bach is known as one of the greatest composers of religious music &hellip; but he was also an ordinary human, he fell in love, he was a family man&hellip;&rdquo;
Forming a contrast to these short album pieces is Trifonov&rsquo;s performance of Brahms&rsquo;s transcription (for the left hand) of the Chaconne in D&nbsp;minor, originally scored for solo violin and thought by some to be Bach&rsquo;s response to the death of his first wife Maria Barbara. &ldquo;What I love about Brahms&rsquo;s transcription,&rdquo; says the pianist,&rdquo; is that it&rsquo;s so close to understanding how the violin works &hellip; it conveys the struggle of the violinist who has to reach for intervals with the left hand.&rdquo; Trifonov brings out the music&rsquo;s blend of Baroque and Romantic sensibilities, investing its architecture with a dark, meditative quality.
He shows equally impeccable technique in The Art of Fugue, which consists of fourteen fugues and four canons that explore, on a mathematical basis, the contrapuntal possibilities inherent in a single theme. This monumental work is rarely heard in performance, partly because of its technical demands and partly, as Trifonov explains, &ldquo;because it is all written in one key and on one theme so the performer has to bring enough variety to the score&rdquo;.
The pianist is intrigued by Bach&rsquo;s attempts to base the work on the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio, but observes that the result is &ldquo;far more than a scientific experiment: as always with Bach, he managed to make music of indescribable beauty and emotion&rdquo;. Trifonov&rsquo;s imaginative interpretation captures the sense of the work as a cycle, treating it as a living, organic whole. This chimes with the inspiration he takes from spending time in nature, whether hiking or practising Qigong, a form of meditation that values the healing energy of trees. &ldquo;And the tree is a good metaphor for The Art of Fugue&rsquo;s overall structure,&rdquo; he notes. &ldquo;The theme is the trunk, the fugues are the branches, all the permutations within each fugue are the leaves&hellip;&rdquo;
Bach did not live to finish The Art of Fugue&rsquo;s final contrapunctus, and a number of musicians have attempted conjectural completions. For this recording, Trifonov, himself an accomplished composer, has created a seamless, stylistically respectful conclusion worthy of Bach&rsquo;s genius. It reflects the extent to which he has absorbed and internalised every nook and cranny of Bach&rsquo;s valedictory masterpiece.
He ends his programme with an eloquent reading of Dame Myra Hess&rsquo;s transcription of &ldquo;Jesu, Joy of Man&rsquo;s Desiring&rdquo;, a reminder that, for Bach and his contemporaries, &ldquo;music was another embodiment of nature and natural laws, and mathematics and science were also thought to be part of a divine order&rdquo;.

Daniil Trifonov announces a new Extended Edition of 'Silver Age'

Daniil Trifonov announces the Extended Edition of Silver Age, featuring four additional works by Alexander Scriabin. The title of the album, Silver Age, recorded with Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra, recalls a time when Russia&rsquo;s composers, poets, artists, dramatists, and star performers were among the most original anywhere in the world. The artistic audacity and brilliance of this turbulent era in the country&rsquo;s history is illustrated with Daniil Trifonov&rsquo;s choice of works by three of its most pioneering composers, Scriabin, Prokofiev, and Stravinsky.
&ldquo;Scriabin,&rdquo; he notes, &ldquo;wished to combine all aesthetic experience in a single, mystical, musical vision; Stravinsky unified the arts through a radical re-interpretation of ballet; Prokofiev, meanwhile, embraced cinema as the most complete and modern synthesis of the senses.&rdquo;
The digital extended version will be released 16 April 2021 and is available to pre-order now! Listen to the first pre-release track Scriabin: Eight Etudes, Op. 42 - V. in C Sharp Minor: Affannato now!

Daniil Trifonov: Silver Age

The title of Daniil Trifonov&rsquo;s new album, Silver Age, recorded with Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra, recalls a time when Russia&rsquo;s composers, poets, artists, dramatists and star performers were among the most original anywhere in the world. The artistic audacity and brilliance of this turbulent era in the country&rsquo;s history is illustrated with Daniil Trifonov&rsquo;s choice of works by three of its most pioneering composers, Scriabin, Prokofiev and Stravinsky.
&ldquo;Scriabin,&rdquo; he notes, &ldquo;wished to combine all aesthetic experience in a single, mystical, musical vision;&nbsp;Stravinsky&nbsp;unified the arts through a radical re-interpretation of ballet;&nbsp;Prokofiev, meanwhile, embraced cinema as the most complete and modern synthesis of the senses.&rdquo;
&ldquo;All credit to the young Russian virtuoso pianist Daniil Trifonov for beginning his artist-in-residence season at the New York Philharmonic &hellip; with a scintillating account of this Scriabin rarity&nbsp;&hellip; [He] played with an uncanny balance of tenderness and flair: call&nbsp;it&nbsp;soft-spoken virtuosity.&rdquo; New York Times, 28 November 2019
The Russian pianist&rsquo;s new album, which will be available in double disc and e-album formats, includes Scriabin&rsquo;s Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in F sharp minor Op.20, Prokofiev&rsquo;s Piano Concerto No.2 in G minor Op.16 and Stravinsky&rsquo;s Three Movements from Petrushka. The tracklist also comprises Stravinsky&rsquo;s Serenade and excerpts from The Firebird (arranged for piano by Agosti), together with Prokofiev&rsquo;s Sarcasmes Op.17, Piano Sonata No.8 in B flat major Op.84 and the &ldquo;Gavotte&rdquo; from 3&nbsp;Pieces from &ldquo;Cinderella&rdquo; Op.95 No.2.
The impresario Serge Diaghilev, founder of the Ballets Russes, included Scriabin&rsquo;s Piano Concerto in his &ldquo;Historic Russian Concerts&rdquo; (Concerts historiques russes) held in Paris during the spring of 1907. &ldquo;Though both Rachmaninov and Scriabin represented the younger generation of Russian composers at the turn of the 20th century,&rdquo; comments Trifonov, &ldquo;if Rachmaninov can be thought of as a composer staring longingly towards the horizon, then Scriabin was the one imagining the world beyond it.&rdquo;&nbsp;
Diaghilev subsequently commissioned Igor Stravinsky, an emerging talent virtually unknown beyond St Petersburg, to compose a new work for the Ballets Russes. The Firebird proved a sensation of the company&rsquo;s 1910 season and, together with Petrushka (1911) and The Rite of Spring (1913), secured Stravinsky&rsquo;s place among the 20th century&rsquo;s most influential composers. In line with Silver Age thinking, he continued for the rest of his long life to explore and develop new styles.
&ldquo;Stravinsky was a kind of anti-Romantic &ndash; the second movement Romanza of the Serenade, dedicated to his wife, could not be less sentimental,&rdquo; observes Daniil Trifonov. &ldquo;He was like a chameleon. From his Russian style to Neo-classicism, through his later experiments in serialism, jazz and many others, it is music written in playful abstraction. The composer&rsquo;s personal feelings remain hidden, but his artistic signature is always apparent.&rdquo;
The pianist&rsquo;s programme captures the future-facing, rule-defying energy of landmark pieces by three exceptionally gifted composers. It also reveals how elements of Silver Age aesthetics, including irony, a fascination with folk culture and ideas drawn from the past, surfaced in later compositions by Prokofiev, including his score for Cinderella and the Eighth Piano Sonata, a mature exploration of the musical ideals of the years in which he had established his reputation as an iconoclastic young composer-pianist.
Above all, Daniil Trifonov&rsquo;s choice of music mirrors the inventive variety of this brief but explosive cultural moment.&nbsp;Having paved the way for future artistic achievements, the spirit of Russia&rsquo;s Silver Age is justly celebrated in these new recordings.
The album is set for release on November 6 and can be pre-ordered from today. Listen to the pre-release track of the finale from Stravinsky&rsquo;s Firebird suite.

MI HISTORIA AMERICANA: SUR Daniil Trifonov

Works by Alberto Ginastera &middot; Ary Barroso &middot; Camargo Guarnieri Daniil Trifonov &middot; Ernesto Lecuona &middot; Gabriela Lena Frank Gonzalo Grau &middot; Heitor Villa-Lobos &middot; Juan Francisco Garc&iacute;a and more!

With his upcoming album Mi Historia Americana &ndash; Sur, star-pianist Daniil Trifonov presents the second volume of his musical journey across the Americas.&nbsp;
On the album, he shares a wide-ranging selection of his Latin American and Caribbean musical discoveries. Through both solo and orchestral works, Trifonov&rsquo;s travels take him from Cuba and the Dominican Republic to Brazil, Peru and Argentina, on what is, in many senses, his most personal album to date. &ldquo;Like the region itself,&rdquo; says Trifonov, "the repertoire is vast and full of variety. There are many pieces that are popular in the region yet unfamiliar in other parts of the world. I wanted to present a picture of the musical richness this literature has to offer." &nbsp; &nbsp;
The album will be released digitally, on CD (2 discs) and on vinyl (3 LPs) on 2 October, with a 5‑track 1LP Eco-Vinyl disc entitled The Encores out the same day, to tie in with Trifonov&rsquo;s upcoming recital tour.
