Oeuvre: Fantaisie et fugue en sol mineur de JS Bach, BWV 542, S 463

Faisant ses débuts au Royal Festival Hall, le jeune pianiste russe Daniil Trifonov a donné une exécution exaltante, captivante, au jeu pianistique incomparable, des œuvres de Bach, Rachmaninov et Liszt.

As I settled into my seat in the Kaufman Theater at the 92nd Street Y, the man next to me turned to his wife to say: “This concert is going to be quite the journey.” Snickering to myself, I dismissed the man’s comment as trite. But by the end of the all-Liszt program, I felt bulldozed by Garrick Ohlsson’s performance.
