Rachmaninov: Variations

Daniil Trifonov returns, with a unique homage to his legendary idol, Sergei Rachmaninov, and his first studio album for DG - a dazzling collection of hits, rarities and a world premiere. In the great tradition of Russian pianist-composers, Trifonov may be rightly considered an heir to Rachmaninov - a passionate virtuoso at the keyboard and a Romantic spirit in his own compositions.With this album, the young artist pays tribute to his illustrious musical forefather with a fascinating programme comprising three sets of Rachmaninov Variations: the hyper-virtuostic Variations on a theme of Corelli and the rare Variations on a Theme of Chopin for solo piano, along with the famous and much-loved Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini for piano and orchestra.Rounding out the programme, Trifonov showing himself as a brilliantly inventive and appealing composer, he offers - Rachmaniana – a touching, original work in homage to the master. The famous 18th Variation from the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini is one of the most beautiful and instantly recognisable melodies in all of classical music – used numerous times in movies and tv commercials the world-over.The Philadelphia Orchestra has its very own connection to the Rhapsody: it gave the world premiere of the work in 1934, with the composer at the piano. Now it is being conducted by DG’s highly acclaimed Yannick Nézet-Séguin who gets constantly rave reviews for his performances with the orchestra.Trifonov will perform the Paganini Rhapsody through 2015-16; his previous performances received great critical acclaim: “A ravishing, startling and altogether convincing ‘Rhapsody’” (San Francisco Chronicle) // “We were drawn close in to the imaginative wonder of Rachmaninov's teeming invention” (The Times)
