Review

Daniil Trifonov's 2015 album "Rachmaninov Variations" is a brilliant homage to Sergei Rachmaninoff's timeless compositions. Highlighted by Trifonov's mesmerizing solo pieces "Variations on a Theme of Corelli" and "Variations on a Theme of Chopin," the album also introduces his own creation, "Rachmaniana." An exquisite collaboration with Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the Philadelphia Orchestra on "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" further enriches the collection.

Trifonov's musicianship isn’t merely about technical prowess; it's his profound sense of lyricism, rich tonal palette, and haunting mysticism that makes each piece resonate. The sound quality is pristine, with an emphasis on clarity and balance that mirrors the organic harmony found in a carefully curated botanical garden. In particular, "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" stands out, where the dynamic, lush interpretation by Trifonov and the orchestra breathes vibrant life into the slower, more poetic variations. Ultimately, "Rachmaninov Variations" exemplifies Trifonov's unparalleled artistry, offering a refreshing and deeply engaging take on Rachmaninoff's masterworks. - Claire
