Widely acknowledged as one of the greatest young pianists of the early twenty-first century, Daniil Trifonov was born in Nizhny Novgorod in 1991 and began piano lessons aged five, making his concerto debut just three years later; following studies in Moscow and Cleveland (where his teachers included Sergei Babayan), his early successes included prizes at the International Scriabin Competition, Eurovision Young Musicians and the International Chopin Competition before sweeping the board at both the Rubinstein Competition and International Tchaikovsky Competition in 2011. His Carnegie Hall debut two years later (featuring music by Scriabin, Liszt, Chopin and Medtner) was recorded by Deutsche Grammophon, marking the beginning of a long-term partnership with the ‘Yellow Label’; subsequent albums included the the mighty all-Liszt recital Transcendental, which won a Grammy, an ECHO Klassik Award, and a Schallplattenkritik Award in 2016, and was described as ‘the best kind of virtuoso playing’ by Gramophone and ‘a wonder of seeming spontaneity and breathtaking ease’ by The Wall Street Journal.
