Daniil Trifonov / Piano Recital

Sound magician on a voyage of discovery

Daniil Trifonov’s magic is hard to resist: the fact that his pianistic resources are almost limitless is unmistakable. He also surprises his audience time and again with his expressiveness and ability to reinterpret music. Trifonov is therefore definitely one of the most exciting pianists of our time. For his recital in May 2025, the pianist will bring a Romantic programme to the Laeiszhalle in which he will showcase all facets of his ability. In addition to piano sonatas by Samuel Barber and his compatriot Piotr I. Tchaikovsky, he will also focus on the genre of dance: although Chopin’s waltzes are not really danceable, the time signature and character of the music unmistakably point to this. Tchaikovsky’s ballet music for Sleeping Beauty, on the other hand, was written especially for dance – ballerinas, dancers and stage sets pass before your mind’s eye as you listen.
