a note from the chair and the president Happy New Year and welcome to Symphony Center, home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Chorus, Symphony Center Presents, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, and Negaunee Music Institute. We are eager to make sure your 2022 is filled with rich, live musical experiences. We happily find Riccardo Muti, the CSO’s Zell Music Director, back in Chicago to begin the year with three weeks of performances in Orchestra Hall as well as two community concerts at Chodl Auditorium at Morton East High School in Cicero and Apostolic Church of God in Chicago’s Woodlawn neighborhood. In Muti’s words, these concerts embody the CSOA’s commitment to “focusing on discovering beauty and culture again,” and are an “invitation for all Chicagoans to share in the joy, power, and harmony of music. The first of these three programs in January is part of Muti’s ongoing survey of Beethoven’s symphonies with the CSO, with performances of the Fifth and Eighth symphonies in addition to his Coriolan Overture. Next, Muti and the CSO perform suites from Tchaikovsky’s ballets Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty, Johann Strauss, Jr.’s Emperor Waltz, and the Overture to Donna Diana by Reznicek. A baroque program with the first suite from Handel’s Water Music and three concertos by Vivaldi, featuring CSO musicians as soloists, are Muti’s last concerts before he returns in late February. Next, Marin Alsop leads the Orchestra in works by Barber and Elgar and Rachmaninov’s Second Piano Concerto performed by Lukáš Vondráček. The CSO at the Movies series also continues with the classic film Casablanca conducted by Richard Kaufman. Symphony Center Presents greatly expands its offerings in the new year beginning with SCP Piano series performances by Igor Levit, Jan Lisiecki, and Daniil Trifonov, while the Orpheus Chamber Ensemble with Branford Marsalis explores the intersection of jazz and classical music in a special concert. The SCP Jazz series presents the double bill of Terri Lyne Carrington + Social Science and Rudresh Mahanthappa’s Hero Trio. The Civic Orchestra of Chicago, conducted by Rossen Milanov, presents two free concerts at the South Shore Cultural Center and Symphony Center in January, and in February, the Civic Orchestra’s Principal Conductor Ken-David Masur leads the orchestra in works by Bacewicz, Janáček, and Bartók. We hope you join us often in 2022 for the broad range of incredible performances by the world’s leading musicians here at Symphony Center and beyond.

A Long-Awaited Reunion When Riccardo Muti joined the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on September 21 for its first rehearsal of the 2021–22 season, it was a symbolic and joyful moment marking the end of a long physical separation. The three weeks of performances that followed indicated that the artistic connection between Muti and the Orchestra was as strong as ever. Emotion, energy, and an eagerness to perform live for Chicago audiences defined this long-awaited reunion in concerts that marked a homecoming for listeners as well. The following pictures, accolades, and remarks capture a celebration that will be remembered for years to come.

CONCERT

In these first performances together since February 2020, Muti led the CSO in Beethoven’s stirring Eroica Symphony. The program opened with the Orchestra’s first performances of the Overture to the opera L’Amant anonyme by Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, the Guadeloupeborn eighteenth-century composer, violinist, and champion fencer whose music is receiving renewed attention. The program also included the Andante moderato by Florence Price, the first African American woman to have her music performed by a major American orchestra—the CSO in 1933.

JANUARY–FEBRUARY 2022

“ If there was a protagonist in this interpretation, it was Muti’s nextto-telekinetic rapport with the CSO musicians. It’s been just two years since orchestra and director last united to perform Eroica, in September 2019, but what a long two years it’s been. . . . Thursday’s concert collapsed that span like an accordion file.” THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE

clockwi s e f ro m to p l e f t : To mark the momentous occasion of the first concerts together since the beginning of the pandemic, on September 23, Muti opened the evening by addressing the vitality of culture. Those in attendance demonstrated their support of the CSO with warm applause and ovations.

8 CSO.ORG

Before beginning the concert on September 23, Riccardo Muti marked the occasion by addressing the audience. What follows is a selection of those remarks.

“Tonight, of course, is a very special occasion. . . . Because English is not my first language, I have to find the right words that can correspond to the feelings that I have and that reflect the feelings of the musicians. This is a special day, a special evening, because [it is] after nineteen or twenty months of separation and twenty months of a disaster in the world that has killed many people, killed the economy that affects the physical part of our life, killed the culture. Culture affects our soul, our mind, and the interrelationships between people. We always forget how much the lack of culture can damage a society. That’s the reason why it is very special tonight, and that’s the reason why I am playing the Eroica: because of musicians of the Chicago Symphony and the musicians around the world—and the actors, and the singers, and the composers, the painters. They have been heroic, because not only did they have to make their professions silent but also they could not communicate what is the real reason of their lives: to give you, to the public, enrichment and beauty. The world is going in a very tragic way because of the lack of culture. I’m insisting on fighting; I’ve been fighting all my life. Culture is not entertainment. You are not here tonight because you did not know how to spend your evening. You are here tonight because you need music. You need to hear live your fantastic musicians. That is the reason why we are here. We are here to give you emotions, to give you the sound of beauty, of harmony—that sound that the world is forgetting. Without music the world will become more and more savage. So, I am so happy to see all of you in this historic hall, in front of an orchestra that is more than 125 years old, that has given beauty and music and enrichment to many generations. So, I’m asking you to stay close to the Orchestra. To tell your friends, your colleagues, to come to hear the Orchestra, not just to hear the music, but to receive through music beauty, harmony, and, as Beethoven said, brotherhood. This is what I wanted to tell you.” Riccardo Muti Zell Music Director Chicago Symphony Orchestra

CONCERT

The second week of concerts paired

Brahms’s Violin Concerto in D major, op. 77, performed by violinist Leonidas Kavakos, with Beethoven’s Symphony no. 7 in A major, op. 92.

“ Kavakos earned an extended standing ovation, which probably came as much from his fine playing as it did from the audience’s sheer joy in hearing a soloist perform with the orchestra at Orchestra Hall for the first time in some nineteen months.” C H I C A G O S U N -T I M E S

The third week of concerts opened with Missy Mazzoli’s These Words In Us,

a meditation on her father’s experiences as a soldier in Vietnam inspired by a poem by James Tate. While Mazzoli served as Mead Composer-inResidence (July 2018–June 2021), circumstances made these concerts the first realized orchestral performances of her music. Also on the program were Liadov’s The Enchanted Lake and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony no. 6 in B minor, op. 74, known as the Pathétique.

“ Mazzoli is one of the finest and most consistent composers of our time and one looks forward to the longbelated CSO premiere of Orpheus Undone in spring.” W T T W.C O M

Our Chamber Music series includes performances by the amazing Emanuel Ax, Leonidas Kavakos, and Yo-Yo Ma trio; the Mahler Chamber Orchestra led by Mitsuko Uchida; and, in her first recital as the CSO’s new Artist-in-Residence, a unique program by violinist Hilary Hahn. The SCP Jazz series welcomes outstanding vocalists Dianne Reeves, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and Cécile McLorin Salvant, as well as a two-concert residency by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis and new programs by Sean Jones and Chicagoan Thaddeus Tukes. While I am proud of the limited, virtual concerts that we were able to offer during the ninetieth season of Symphony Center Presents, we sorely missed presenting live performances for you, our loyal patrons and subscribers, who make these presentations complete.

comments by richard e. rodda karol szymanowski

Born October 3, 1882; Timoshovka, Ukraine Died March 29, 1937; Lausanne, Switzerland

Sonata No. 3, Op. 36 composed 1917

Karol Szymanowski was the preeminent Polish composer during the first half of the twentieth century. His father was an ardent connoisseur of the arts, and Karol grew up in a household rich in culture. Szymanowski (shee-man-OV-skee) showed exceptional musical talent early in life, and he began his professional studies in Warsaw in 1901. In 1905, he and three of his student colleagues founded the Association of Young Polish Composers, a group, analogous to the Young Poland movement in literature, dedicated to the publication and performance of works from Poland. He made frequent trips to Berlin and Leipzig during the following years to arrange concerts of Polish music and oversee the publication of his music, which was then heavily influenced by Wagner and Richard Strauss. In 1911, Szymanowski settled in Vienna, where he signed a ten-year publishing contract with Universal Edition and achieved notable successes with performances of his Second Piano Sonata and Symphony no. 2. In 1914, and after World War I, he made several trips to the European Mediterranean and North Africa, and his direct contact with the ancient, early Christian and Arab cultures of Italy, Constantinople, Tunis, and Algiers profoundly altered his artistic temperament. He abandoned the Germanic post-romanticism of his earlier works and turned instead to the music of Debussy and Ravel, Stravinsky, and the Russian mystic Scriabin to help in defining an idiom

suitable to his new creative direction. During the years of World War I, when travel was restricted, Szymanowski occupied his time with an intense investigation of ancient and Asian cultures and became an authority on those subjects; his music of that period reached its zenith with the Third Symphony (Song of the Night) and the opulent opera King Roger. Szymanowski, exempted from conscription into the tsarist army because of poor health, enjoyed a fruitful period of creativity during the early years of World War I, but when revolution broke out in Russia in 1917, his family’s country estate at Tymoszówka in Ukraine was razed to the ground (his two grand pianos were thrown into a lake—Szymanowski could never again afford a piano of his own), depriving him not only of much of his autograph material and correspondence but also his favorite workplace. He had to resettle in Elisavetgrad (today Kirovohrad in central Ukraine), which he disliked intensely, and his creativity plummeted. He was able to complete the Piano Sonata no. 3 and the First String Quartet, both begun at Tymoszówka, and sketch the cantatas Demeter (not finished until 1924) and Agave (never completed at all), but he gave most of his time during the next three years to reading widely, making music with friends, reminiscing about his travels around the Mediterranean, writing the novel Ephebos, and studying ancient cultures. Szymanowski’s Sonata no. 3 is his last major composition for piano. It is a continuous span comprising analogues of the traditional four movements—a sonata structure, slow movement, scherzo, and finale. Like Szymanowski’s earlier two sonatas from 1904 and 1911, it closes with an extended fugue.

COMMENTS

he main theme of the sonata’s opening movement, soft at first and with harmonic echoes of both Debussy and Scriabin, circles around a repeating motive before closing with a modest upward leap. It becomes more intense as it builds to a climax, but quiets again for the more melodic second subject, a scalar motive in distinctive dotted rhythms. The compact development section treats both themes before the movement closes with their considerably modified recapitulation. A mysterious, rustling variant of the main theme provides the transition to the Adagio, whose pensive mood at beginning and end is countered by an

impassioned central episode. A quickly repeated note, almost a fanfare, announces the one-minute scherzo, through whose hammered figurations and vehement expression Szymanowski may have vented some of his anger over the terrible misfortunes of the time of the sonata’s creation. The closing fugue is marked scherzando e buffo— joking and funny—though its stern music and tense expression cast that description in a cold emotional light. The finale’s powerful motion is interrupted twice by returns of the opening movement’s second theme—the first almost nostalgic, the second grandiose—before the sonata comes to an abrupt but emphatic close.

claude debussy

Born August 22, 1862; Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France Died March 25, 1918; Paris, France

Pour le piano composed 1894 and 1901

The title that Debussy chose for himself—musicien français—points directly to the heart of his music and the center of his artistic philosophy. His entire career as composer and critic was dedicated to finding a uniquely French musical language, free from the German influence he believed had dominated Gallic composers since the late eighteenth century. To that end, he sought to revive the old, long-dormant traditions of French Renaissance and baroque music, as much for their spirit as for their technique. “French music is all clearness, elegance; simple, natural declamation,” he wrote. “The aim of French music is, before all, to please. The musical genius of France may be described as

a fantasy of the senses.” He viewed the two giants of French baroque music—Jean-Philippe Rameau and François Couperin—as the lodestars guiding his quest. The evaluation he gave in 1912 of Rameau might very well have been written about himself: “Rameau’s major contribution to music was that he knew how to find ‘sensibility’ within harmony; and that he succeeded in capturing effects of color and certain nuances that, before his time, musicians had not clearly understood.” The meeting of ancient and modern in Debussy’s creative output is seen nowhere better than in his suite Pour le piano. The work’s three movements—prélude, sarabande, and toccata—trace their formal and stylistic lineage to quintessential genres of the baroque era, yet they are realized with the iridescent harmony and luminous keyboard sonority that set Debussy apart from any of his predecessors. “Pour le piano seeks the hard discipline of Bach and the early

COMMENTS

French and Italian keyboardists, and at this limpid source recaptures gaiety, fluency and charm, an untrammeled rhythmic life and novel harmonic energies,” wrote E. Robert Schmitz in his survey of Debussy’s piano music. Yet, despite its backward look to the harpsichord and organ ancestry, this suite is an outstanding contribution to the expression of the total resources of the modern concert piano. Its achievement is gliding unassumingly but with mastery over the piano literature of three centuries, integrating their musical resources into a new fabric that reflects this vast space of time without the slightest affectation or embarrassment. Though the final autograph of Pour le piano is dated “January–April 1901,” the second movement is actually a revision of a work Debussy originally composed in 1894 with the title, “In the tempo of a Sarabande, that is to say with a slow serious elegance, rather like an old portrait, or a memory of the Louvre.” The piece was published in the February 17, 1896, issue of the Grand Journal de Lundi with a dedication to Yvonne Lerolle, daughter of his friend Henri Lerolle, painter, musical aficionado, and brother-in-law of Debussy’s one-time mentor, the composer Ernest Chausson. When the score was published by Fromont late in 1901, the outer movements were dedicated to two of Debussy’s very few pupils: the opening prélude to Mlle M.W. de Romilly, who studied both voice and piano with him from 1898 to 1908 and the closing toccata to Nicolas Coronio, a wealthy dilettante who did not pursue a career in music. The suite was given its premiere at a concert

30 NINETY-FIRST SEASON

of the Société Nationale in the Salle Erard in Paris on January 11, 1902, by the Catalan pianist Ricardo Viñes, who was to become one of the leading exponents of Debussy’s music. The Sarabande was orchestrated by Maurice Ravel later that year, and first heard in that form at the Salle Gaveau as part of the Concerts Lamoureux performance of March 18, 1903, conducted by Paul Paray.

he Prélude, with its tightly repeated figurations and freely unfolding form, not only recalls similarly named pieces by Bach, but also “tellingly evokes the gongs and music of Java,” according to Mlle Romilly, a reference to the Javanese gamelan orchestra that had so impressed French musicians at the Paris World Exposition of 1889. The Sarabande, whose parallel harmonies and pseudo-archaic style were probably influenced by Erik Satie’s Sarabande of 1887, was modeled on the dignified triple-meter dance form found in many baroque suites. Of the Toccata, inspired by the virtuoso showpieces with which early keyboardists displayed their skills, E. Robert Schmitz noted, It has all the youthful, carefree impetus of the arabesques of Scarlatti or Couperin, but it has the strength of a rich harmonic canvas which is completely personal to Debussy. . . . Debussy here sought the ideal musical texture in an intimate and balanced integration of melody, harmony, rhythm, contrapuntal concepts, and instrumental coloring, while preserving an architectural sense of form.

sergei prokofiev

Born April 23, 1891; Sontsovka, Ukraine Died March 5, 1953; Moscow, Russia

Sarcasms, Op. 17 composed 1912–14

Prokofiev was both the whiz kid and the bad boy of early twentieth-century Russian music. By the time he graduated from the Saint Petersburg Conservatory in 1914, he had compiled an amazing student portfolio comprising two piano sonatas and two dozen shorter piano pieces, a piano concerto, three orchestral works, two choruses for women’s voices, an opera, a ballade for cello and piano, and songs; he also won the conservatory’s first prize for his piano playing. His musical style, however, was gleefully iconoclastic, full of crushed dissonances and motoric rhythms, and it drove his professors to the point of distraction. Prokofiev, by the age of twenty-three, when he was at work on the Sarcasms for piano and a ballet for Diaghilev on a pagan subject entitled Ala and Lolli (from which Prokofiev later extracted the thunderous Scythian Suite for orchestra), had acquired “a reputation.” The five Sarcasms for piano that Prokofiev composed between 1912 and 1914 embody, according to his biographer Israel Nestyev, “the most extreme manifestations of his ‘grotesquerie’ . . . elements of mischief, of devilish skepticism, predominate.” The Sarcasms created a sensation when Prokofiev premiered them at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory on November 27, 1916. “People took their head in their hands,” he wrote to his friend composer Nikolai Miaskovsky. “Some in order to plug their ears, others to express their excitement, and still more out of pity for the poor, once-promising

composer.” He indicated the cynical attitude of the entire cycle when he wrote of the closing movement: Sometimes we laugh malevolently at someone or something, but when we look more closely at what we’re laughing at, we see just how wretched and miserable it is. Then we begin to feel uneasy. Although the laughter resounds in our ears, it is now laughing at us. “While the odd-numbered pieces are filled with violent, unbridled emotions,” wrote Nestyev of the Sarcasms, “a fantastic, almost eerie atmosphere pervades the even numbered ones.” Though they all have surreal qualities, ranging from manic activity to dream descending into nightmare, from nearly frozen inaction to frenzied motion, each one is carefully built, motivically integrated, and often surprisingly melodic, even if in a disjunct, decidedly modern manner.

he opening movement (Tempestoso) has a driven, sardonic quality (one performance instruction is “ironico”) enhanced by abrupt dynamic changes, rhythmic dislocations, and a nose-thumbing ending. With its fractured phrasing, wildly leaping melodic notes, and sudden sweeping gestures, the second movement would be a musical stream-of-consciousness if it were not so precisely structured. The Allegro precipitato is like a glimpse into the movie multiplex of the absurd, a madcap chase film playing in one theater (the movement’s outer sections), a weepy romance next door (the central episode). The fourth movement is also bipolar, beginning with music marked Smanioso—“agitated,

restless” or even “raving, raging”—before turning lugubrious and funereal. The closing movement follows a similar expressive path,

with pounding repeated chords giving way to cautious, whispered fragments set in the piano’s darkest sonorities.

johannes brahms

Born May 7, 1833; Hamburg, Germany Died April 3, 1897; Vienna, Austria

Sonata No. 3 in F Minor, Op. 5 composed 1853

In April 1853, the twentyyear-old Johannes Brahms set out from his native Hamburg for a concert tour of Germany with the Hungarian violinist Eduard Reményi. The following month in Hanover, they met Joseph Joachim, whom Brahms had heard give an inspiring performance of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto five years earlier in Hamburg. Brahms was at first somewhat shy in the presence of the celebrated virtuoso, but the two men warmed to each other. The following summer, Brahms and Joachim spent eight weeks at Göttingen, discussing music, studying scores, playing chamber works together, and setting the foundation for a creative friendship that would last for almost half a century. Joachim gave Brahms as a parting gift several letters of introduction, including one to Robert and Clara Schumann in Düsseldorf.

On the last day of September 1853, Brahms met the Schumanns for the first time. “Here is one of those who comes as if sent straight from God,” Clara recorded in her diary. Brahms spent a delightful month in Düsseldorf, seeing the Schumanns almost every day, sharing meals, talking, joining their family walks, and playing music with them. Robert was simply overwhelmed by Brahms’s talent, a conviction he shared with the musical world in his famous article “New Paths,” which appeared in the October 23 edition of his journal, Neue Zeitschrift für Musik (New Journal for Music): It seemed to me that there would and indeed must suddenly appear one man who would be singled out to articulate and give the ideal expression to the tendencies of our time, one man who would show us his mastery, not through a gradual process, but, like Athena, spring fully armed from the head of Zeus. And he has come, a young man over whose cradle Graces and Heroes stood guard. His name is Johannes Brahms.

COMMENTS

Brahms was inspired by Schumann’s unstinting advocacy, and he threw himself into the composition of a new F minor piano sonata, his third work in the form in two years, which he played for Robert and Clara “from his head” on November 2, the eve of his departure from Düsseldorf. Brahms then made his way to Leipzig, the center of European music publishing, where, with Schumann’s blessing and the instant renown imparted by the Neue Zeitschrift article, his first two piano sonatas, a set of six songs, and the Scherzo in E-flat minor were accepted by the prestigious firm of Breitkopf and Härtel; they were issued in December as, respectively, opp. 1–4. By the end of the year, Brahms had completed the notation of his Third Piano Sonata, and the score was published as his op. 5 by the Leipzig firm of Senff in February 1854 with an appreciative dedication to Countess Ida von Hohenthal, who had acted as his hostess in Leipzig and who also hired the composer’s younger brother, Fritz, as music tutor for her children. The F minor, the largest of his keyboard works, was Brahms’s last piano sonata, though the following year he did attempt a sonata for two pianos that was eventually transformed into the Piano Concerto no. 1.

he F minor sonata is remarkable for the way in which Brahms harnessed the surging romantic language of his youthful style into the logical constructions of classical form. (This was precisely the quality that so excited Schumann’s admiration.) It is this masterly balance of ardent emotional expression and intellectual formal necessity—of heart and head—that imparts such power to this music. Also evident here is Brahms’s ability to blend rigorous counterpoint with singing lyricism—a technique that generates the thematic material of the sonata-form opening movement, which includes a dramatic, leaping motive as its principal subject and a chordal strain (to which the leaping motive in the bass acts as accompaniment) as

complementary theme. These two expressive states—drama and lyricism—contend in the development section before the somewhat abbreviated recapitulation of the themes closes the movement. The tenderly eloquent Andante is headed with lines by the German poet Sternau: The evening falls, the moonlight shines / Two hearts, joined in love / Embrace each other blissfully. This poignant nocturne (which may have been sketched as early as 1852 in Hamburg) extends across a sonata form modified so that the second theme of the exposition, a quiet melody in sweet sixths divided equally between the two hands, is replaced in the recapitulation by a hauntingly beautiful strain of folkish simplicity in full chords. The scherzo is Brahms’s tribute to the Florestanesque character pieces of impetuous nature that loom so large in Schumann’s output. Ominous, sometimes demonic, it is one of the most vehemently expressive pieces Brahms ever wrote. His sense of classical formal propriety required him to balance it with a sedate central trio that glides smoothly along in an almost hymnlike manner. Instead of proceeding directly to the finale, Brahms next inserted a movement entitled Intermezzo, which “looks back” (Rückblick) to the Andante by transmuting its theme into a tragic threnody accompanied by the cadence of distant funeral drums. The finale, blended from elements of rondo and sonata forms, is built upon the contrast between the tensely rhythmic opening theme and two lyrical melodies revealed in later episodes of the movement. The sonata ends with a brilliant, major-key coda whose flamboyant virtuosity documents the technical panache that marked Brahms’s pianism as a young man. Richard E. Rodda, a former faculty member at Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Institute of Music, provides program notes for many American orchestras, concert series, and festivals.

profiles Daniil Trifonov Piano Grammy Award–winning pianist Daniil Trifonov (dan-EEL TREE-fon-ov), Musical America’s 2019 Artist of the Year, has established a reputation 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 wonder to audiences and critics alike. With Transcendental, the collection of works by Liszt that marked his third title as an exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist, he won the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Solo Album of 2018. This season, Trifonov released Bach: The Art of Life on Deutsche Grammophon and tours a recital program in Europe based on the album and a different program in the United States. He plays Brahms’s First Piano Concerto with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and Fabio Luisi, Philharmonia Zurich and Gianandrea Noseda, the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra and Xian Zhang, and Rome’s Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia with Antonio Pappano on a European tour. He also performs all five of Beethoven’s piano concertos in various combinations with seven different orchestras: the New York Philharmonic, Cincinnati Symphony, Munich Philharmonic, Mariinsky Orchestra, Orchestre des Champs-Élysées, Budapest Festival Orchestra, and Toronto Symphony. Finally, he gives the world premiere of Mason

34 NINETY-FIRST SEASON

Bates’s new piano concerto, composed for him during the pandemic, co-commissioned by the Philadelphia Orchestra, New Jersey Symphony, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, and San Francisco Symphony. In recent seasons, Trifonov served as artistin-residence of the New York Philharmonic— a residency that included the New York premiere of his own piano quintet—and curated and performed in a seven-concert, season-long Carnegie Hall Perspectives series, crowned by a performance of his own piano concerto with Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra. He has appeared in recital around the world since his Carnegie Hall debut in 2012–13. His discography on Deutsche Grammophon includes a live recording of his Carnegie recital debut; Chopin Evocations; and three volumes of works by Rachmaninov with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Yannick Nézet-Séguin, one volume of which received a 2021 Grammy nomination and another BBC Music Magazine’s 2019 Concerto Award. During the 2010–11 season, Trifonov won medals at three of the music world’s most prestigious competitions: third prize in Warsaw’s Chopin Competition, first prize in Tel Aviv’s Rubinstein Competition, and first prize and grand prix in Moscow’s Tchaikovsky Competition. He began his musical training at the age of five, attended Moscow’s Gnessin School of Music, and continued his piano studies with Sergei Babayan at the Cleveland Institute of Music. daniiltrifonov.com twitter.com/daniil_trifonov facebook.com/daniiltrifonov.page Instagram.com/daniiltrifonov
