"The silken legato line, glittering ornamentation, melancholy sighs, and sheer brio of dazzling pianism define Chopin’s music. The sensational young pianist Daniil Trifonov takes a deep dive into the Polish genius’s world and the music he inspired. Trifonov performs Chopin favorites, selections from Rachmaninoff’s dazzling variations, and more. The beauty and power of Chopin’s music is eternal, his influence inestimable. Trifonov shows us why."
Listen to the artist discuss the recital...
"One of the greatest pianists of his day, Chopin revolutionized keyboard writing in dozens of nocturnes, waltzes, mazurkas, ballades, and other solo pieces that imbued the brilliance of the salon style with unprecedented poetic depth. Schumann—himself a master of Romantic character pieces—extolled Chopin’s accomplishment, in which, he wrote, “imagination and technique share dominion side by side.” Debussy and many others built on Chopin’s innovations in harmony, melody, and figuration.
Daniil Trifonov’s Hommage à Chopin surveys the Polish master’s enduring influence on composers as diverse as the Russian Rachmaninoff and the Catalan Mompou, who each wrote highly virtuosic sets of variations inspired by Chopin’s piano preludes. In addition to Schumann’s intimate pen portrait, this evening’s program includes short pieces by Tchaikovsky, Grieg, and Barber that translate Chopin’s musical language into more modern idioms. Having approached his subject obliquely, Mr. Trifonov concludes his tribute with one of Chopin’s most beloved and characteristic works: the Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat Minor, with its ever-popular funeral march."
