Work: Serenade in A

Daniil Trifonov returns to Carnegie Hall in a performance of Stravinsky, Debussy, Ravel, and Schumann.

Daniil Trifonov dazzled, for sure, but at times he did slightly more than that. And when he did dazzle, it was always very musical dazzling; he is far from the empty dazzler one might expect so young a virtuoso to be. No – there’s no doubt that Trifonov is a highly intelligent musician, as well as a highly talented one, and there was much to enjoy in this varied programme for Wigmore Hall.
