Product DescriptionTranscendental is the new solo release by Piano Sensation Daniil Trifonov.
His press reviews are consistently out of this world and The Times quote says it all: He is the finest young pianist of our age.
After his successful Rachmaninov Variations last year, he has now created another statement to define his extraordinary and growing legacy. It is dedicated to the greatest pianist of his own century: Franz Liszt.
The repertoire is Liszts Complete Concert Etudes. These Etudes remain among the most challenging piano pieces ever composed and are rarely recorded or performed. This is the first time that the Complete Liszt Etudes have been recorded as a whole for DG. And Daniil Trifonov is one of the few pianists to have recorded them all in one go in an unbelievable five days.
Beyond his phenomenal technique, Daniil Trifonov is a distinctly Russian artist: an intense, soulful musician in the great Russian tradition whose presentation and repertoire set him apart from all other young piano stars of today.
