Work: Piano Concerto in F sharp minor, Op.20

Daniil Trifonov provided a spectacularly nuanced and expressive interpretation of Scriabin's Piano Concerto with the New York Philharmonic under Jaap van Zweden.

Wunderkind Russian piano virtuosi are no novelty in European concert halls. Artistic seriousness and subtle interpretive skill are a harder sell. Daniil Trifonov, a pianist with intelligent and original interpretations that belie a maturity beyond his tender years, closed his season-long residency at the Berlin Philharmonic with a performance of Scriabin's rarely performed piano concerto.

Peter Oundjian was at the top of his game with Royal Scottish National Orchestra in Shostakovich and Scriabin.

Susanna Mälkki was guest conductor for The Cleveland Orchestra’s Summers@Severance concert, which also included Schumann’s “Rhenish” Symphony.

Celso Antunes and Bertrand Chamayou present the evocative music of Debussy, Scriabin and Takemitsu with the São Paulo State Orchestra.
