Daniil Trifonov, “one of the most awesome pianists of our time” (The New York Times), showcases Weber’s virtuosity, Brahms’s massive sonorities, and Szymanowski’s mysterious harmonies. Weber’s music requires fleet-fingered skill, while Szymanowski’s and Brahms’s sonatas test a pianist’s stamina and focus. Few performers could meet the challenge, but “what sets Trifonov apart is a pair of attributes that are seldom found in one pianist: monstrous technique and lustrous tone” (The New Yorker).
