In a span of less than one year, Daniil Trifonov medaled at three of the world’s most prestigious competitions. His final stop was Moscow, where he took home First Prize and the Grand Prix at the International Tchaikovsky Competition. He was 20. Setting the bar that high can be a burden, but Trifonov maintains that when he’s on stage he always finds something new to share with audiences. 16 years later, you’ll witness that in his performance of Brahms’ monumental First Piano Concerto.
