Orchestre National de France / Daniil Trifonov / Cristian Măcelaru

In all colours

»Scriabin composes as if he was improvising,« says the pianist Daniil Trifonov, revealing the secret of the Russian composer originally responsible for getting the teenage Trifonov interested in the piano in a serious way. How lucky for the world’s music lovers! Today, the New York-based musician is one of the best pianists and Scriabin interpreters of our time. We have him to thank for the fact that the Piano Concerto in F Sharp Minor, with its exclusive harmonies, has found its way back onto concert programmes.
