Daniil Trifonov is 23 years old. Among several prizes he has won both the Tchaikovsky and Rubinstein competitions but is respected by many leading musicians for something much more than the prizes. His is not just another remarkable piano talent, Trifonov is a supergifted musician for whom composing, improvising and performing flow seamlessly into each other in a way that is very, very rare. He has taken his own 17-minute piano sonata on tour and gave the first performance of his first piano Concerto in Cleveland, Ohio, in April of 2014.
