Daniil Trifonov: Musical Pictures

Online broadcast at svmusicfestival.org

Grammy Award-winning pianist and 2019 Musical America Artist of the Year, Russian-born Daniil Trifonov brings his vibrant musical talent to bear on a pair of colorful masterpieces. First up is Beethovenā€™s Piano Sonata No. 18, known as ā€œThe Hunt,ā€ thanks to a buoyant horn-call motif in the finale. In it, youā€™ll notice playful high spirits are to the fore, yet thereā€™s room for tenderness, too. Then, nothing conjures images quite like Pictures at an Exhibition. A gallery guide in musical form, the half-hour workā€”originally written for and played tonight by solo pianoā€”paints a series of vivid musical canvases connected by Mussorgskyā€™s famous ā€œPromenadeā€ theme.
