Daniil Trifonov & Sergei Dogadin
Overview
Intro
A musical summit: A world-renowned pianist meets a young violinist from the great Russian school. After Prokofiev's deeply moving Violin Sonata No.
A summit meeting of two exceptional talents: One of the most sought-after pianists in the world – who has already left the audience in the Saanen church in a frenzy multiple times – meets a young compatriot, shaped by the great Russian violin school and trained by Boris Kuschnir in Vienna, who was a student of the legendary David Oistrakh – and, astonishingly, also of Dmitri Shostakovich himself! Following the deeply moving Violin Sonata No. 1 by Sergei Prokofiev – that work, which was performed in 1953 during the memorial services for the composer by its dedicatee David Oistrakh – we encounter Daniil Trifonov with a true statement: the 24 Preludes for piano op. 34. The cycle, created during Prokofiev's early years, consciously orients itself on the model of Johann Sebastian Bach: Each prelude traverses its own major or minor key, thus unfolding a closed panorama of all keys.
