Daniil Trifonov, piano

Winner of the Tchaikovsky and Rubinstein competitions, 26-year-old Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov has astounded audiences around the world. Now Caramoor audiences have a chance to experience this “brilliant, uncommonly poetic soloist” (The New York Times). Trifonov’s 2016 album of Liszt etudes, Transcendental, ended up on numerous year-end lists and his sold-out Carnegie Hall recital last December was streamed to a worldwide audience on Facebook and medici.tv. Martha Argerich proclaimed Trifonov’s playing has “everything and more.” With “monstrous technique and lustrous tone” (The New Yorker), Trifonov tackles a challenging program, including Schumann’s Kinderszenen (“Scenes from Childhood”) and the composer’s “favorite work,” Kreisleriana, as well as works from two Russian giants—Stravinsky and Shostakovich.

Our Garden Listening option lets you sit out on our grassy lawns and listen to the amplified sounds of Daniil Trifonov. With this ticket option, you will not be able to see the concert.
