Star pianist Daniil Trifonov burst on to the international scene winning the International Tchaikovsky Competition in 2011. With this album, Trifonov returns to the music of Tchaikovsky in a beautiful selection of solo works evoking youth and family. 'We think of him', says the celebrated pianist, 'as an archetypical Romantic' and a 'troubled soul. But particularly in his younger years, Tchaikovsky found joy in his close relationships and emotional comfort in his family'. The selected pieces include the rarely-performed Sonata Op.80, the Children's Album, the Variations Op.19/6 and Pletnev's Concert Suite from Sleeping Beauty. They reflect Tchaikovsky at his most effervescent and intimate and contain some of Trifonov's most electrifying playing to date.
