Combining consummate technique with rare sensitivity and depth, Daniil Trifonov’s performances are a perpetual source of awe. He has been declared, “without question the most astounding pianist of our age” (The Times of London).
Grammy Award-winning Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov—winner of Gramophone’s 2016 Artist of the Year award—has made a spectacular ascent in the classical music world as a solo artist, champion of the concerto repertoire, chamber and vocal collaborator, and composer. Combining consummate technique with rare sensitivity and depth, his performances are a perpetual source of awe. “He has everything and more … tenderness and also the demonic element. I never heard anything like that,” marveled pianist Martha Argerich after hearing his winning performance in the International Tchaikovsky Competition Finals in Moscow.
Trifonov recently added a first Grammy Award to his already considerable string of honors, winning Best Instrumental Solo Album of 2018 with Transcendental, a double album of Liszt’s works that marks his third title as an exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist. As The Times of London notes, he is “without question the most astounding pianist of our age.”
