Grammy-winning pianist Daniil Trifonov, \u201cwithout question the most astounding pianist of our age\u201d (The Times of London<\/em>) returns, accompanied by Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra, with an ambitious album of repertoire by three giants of Russian music \u2013 Scriabin, Stravinsky and Prokofiev. Silver Age<\/em>, out now on Deutsche Grammophon,\u00a0 illustrates the artistic audacity and brilliance of a turbulent era in Russia\u2019s history, with works by three of its pioneering composers. As Trifonov explains, “The Silver Age period of art in Russian history is not a single aesthetic, but describes an increasingly fractured social, political and intellectual environment \u2013 a cocktail of different artistic expressions, in agitated interaction.” He continues “Scriabin 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.”<\/p>\n

CRITICAL ACCLAIM<\/strong>
\n“There is plenty of virtuoso playing to be heard, but the character of Trifonov’s performances is not simply that. Stravinsky’s technically dazzling Three Movements from Petrushka come across precise, detailed, whimsical, rather than an attempt to mirror an orchestral showpiece on the piano. Prokofiev’s Piano Sonata No. 8 similarly is much more than just wartime driving energy.”
\nFinancial Times<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

“Trifonov fits into the Mariinsky sound world like a glove, and handles the big first movement cadenza, as well as the Piano Sonata No. 8…with equal servings of musicality and power..a good showcase for Trifonov\u2019s raindrop-like single notes, beautifully turned phrases, and tastefully controlled fluctuations in tune with a sympathetic Gergiev and the Mariinsky”

Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No. 2, Andantino; \u201cSilver Age\u201d; Daniil Trifonov, piano; Mariinsky Orchestra; Valery Gergiev, conductor (Deutsche Grammophon) The thoughtful pianist Daniil Trifonov explores the music of Russia\u2019s so-called\u00a0\u201csilver age\u201d\u00a0of the early 20th century on a fascinating album that offers various solo works and concertos by Scriabin, Prokofiev and Stravinsky. The spacious yet fiendishly difficult\u00a0first movement\u00a0of Prokofiev\u2019s Second Piano Concerto is especially exciting.
