| Daniil Trifonov | Piano |
Orchestre National de France performs an all-French program in its Carnegie Hall debut under Cristian Mǎcelaru. Pianist extraordinaire Daniil Trifonov joins in two quintessential piano concertos: Saint-Saëns’s enormously influential Second; and Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G Major. The latter is a true, unapologetic crowd-pleaser—“a genuine concerto, that is, a brilliant work, clearly highlighting the soloist’s virtuosity”—said Ravel, who openly modeled it after Saint-Saëns’s precedent for entertainment. This matinee concert also includes Ravel’s lush Daphnis et Chloé Suite No. 2, and the compact Second Symphony by Elsa Barraine—a shockingly underperformed composer who was heavily involved in the French Resistance’s Front National des Musiciens.
