Fluent, fleet, fearless, and full of fire, Daniil Trifonov's thrilling performances are known to bring listeners to the very edge of their seats. The pianist is renowned for constructing gripping narrative arcs across the length of his concerts, and for delivering the most serene, delicate moments in an almost conspiratorial whisper, while building rippling layers of sound to conjure power and emotion from the keyboard.
His Berkeley recital features a dazzling, bold, and affecting early piano sonata by Robert Schumann as well as extraordinary-yet-underperformed works by Prokofiev, Myaskovsky, and Taneyev.
