Trifonov, Daniil - Tchaikovsky: The Sleeping Beauty; Children's Album; Piano Sonata op. 80

Star pianist Daniil Trifonov burst onto 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. 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. 2 LP set, gatefold jacket.
