Daniil Trifonov

Combining consummate technique with rare sensitivity and depth, Daniil Trifonov has made a spectacular ascent to classical music stardom. Since taking First Prize at both the Tchaikovsky and Rubinstein competitions in 2011 at just 20, the Russian pianist has appeared with most of the world’s foremost orchestras and played solo recitals in many of its greatest venues.

Following the August release of the Grammy nominated Rachmaninoff Variations, recorded for Deutsche Grammophon with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Yannick Nézet-Séguin, in 2015-2016 Trifonov plays complete Rachmaninoff cycles with the New York Philharmonic and Philharmonia Orchestras, as well as single concertos for debuts with the Berlin Staatskapelle and Royal Stockholm Philharmonic and dates with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Orchestre National de Lyon, and Munich Philharmonic. Prokofiev is the vehicle for his Montreal Symphony debut on a North American tour, and for returns to the Orchestre National de France and the London Symphony. He plays Chopin with the San Francisco Symphony and Liszt with the Pittsburgh Symphony at home and on a North European tour. An accomplished composer, it is also with the Pittsburgh Symphony that Trifonov reprises his own acclaimed piano concerto. Besides making his recital debut in Los Angeles, he undertakes an extensive, high-profile European recital tour and residencies in Lugano, Switzerland, and at London’s Wigmore Hall, where he collaborates with pianist Sergei Babayan and violinist Gidon Kremer.

Last season saw the release of Trifonov: The Carnegie Recital, the pianist’s first recording as an exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist; captured live at his sold-out 2013 Carnegie Hall recital debut, the album scored both an ECHO Klassik Award and a Grammy nomination. His discography also features Chopin on Decca and Tchaikovsky’s First with Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra.

Born in Nizhny Novgorod in 1991, Trifonov studied with Tatiana Zelikman at Moscow’s Gnessin School of Music and Sergei Babayan at the Cleveland Institute of Music.
