The Times (London) on Daniil Trifonov

Passion and power

Rachmaninov’s trademark emotion is on display in his Fourth Piano Concerto. Launching like a rocket from the very first chord, this is music that envelops you in a whirlwind of excitement. Rachmaninov was also one of the greatest pianists of all time, and his pieces are a test even for seasoned performers. ‘Few artists have burst onto the classical music scene in recent years with the incandescence’ of Daniil Trifonov, wrote The New York Times. This is your chance to experience all the passion and power of a true virtuoso.

Liadov’s The Enchanted Lake will draw you into its magical depths, and Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique is packed with gorgeous, energetic melodies – perfect partners to Rachmaninov’s concerto in this concert that will leave you glowing.
