Daniil Trifonov - Silver Age
Daniil Trifonov pays homage to music created during a pivotal period in Russian history. 'Silver Age', recorded with Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra, recalls a time when Russia's composers, poets, artists, dramatists and star performers were among the most original anywhere in the world. It illustrates the artistic audacity and brilliance of a turbulent era in the country's history with works by three of its most pioneering composers: Scriabin's 'Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in F sharp minor Op.20', Prokofiev's 'Piano Concerto No.2 in G minor Op.16' and Stravinsky's 'Three Movements from Petrushka'. Having paved the way for future artistic achievements, the spirit of Russia's 'Silver Age' is justly celebrated in these new recordings.
