Pianist Daniil Trifonov Sets Upcoming Carnegie Hall Performances

On Tuesday, December 9 at 8:00 p.m. in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage, Carnegie Hall presents piano virtuoso Daniil Trifonov in a program that features Bach's Fantasy and Fugue for Organ in G Minor, BWV 542 (trans. for piano by Franz Liszt, S. 463); Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 32 in C Minor, Op. 111; and Liszt's Transcendental Etudes, S. 139. Mr. Trifinov made his sold-out Carnegie Hall debut last year, which was recorded live for his first album on the Deutche Grammophon label, Trifonov: The Carnegie Recital.

This season, Mr. Trifonov also partners with acclaimed violinist Gidon Kremer in a duo recital appearance on Friday, January 23 at 8:00 p.m. in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage, a powerful program spanning 18th and 19th-century Vienna and the 20th-century Soviet Union with works by Mozart, Schubert, and Mieczyslaw Weinberg. Mr. Kremer, a champion of Weinberg's music, brings tremendous artistry to two of the composer's violin works-Violin Sonata No. 5, Op. 53 and Solo Violin Sonata No. 3, Op. 126.

As part of a new partnership with Carnegie Hall, Mr. Trifonov's December 9 concert is being webcast live on medici.tv and carnegiehall.org/medici. For 90 days after the concert, it will also be available for free replay.

In addition, the December 9 concert airs on WQXR 105.9 FM in New York as part of the fourth annual Carnegie Hall Live broadcast and digital series, produced by WQXR and Carnegie Hall and hosted by WQXR's Jeff Spurgeon. Concerts in the series are available for live streaming on wqxr.org and carnegiehall.org/wqxr. During every live broadcast, WQXR and Carnegie Hall will host live web chats, including Twitter commentary by the broadcast team, from backstage and in the control room, connecting national and international fans to the music and to each other. This year, the WFMT Radio Network, the classical music and arts radio distributor and producer based in Chicago, has signed on to distribute select live concerts nationally. The complete Carnegie Hall Live line-up will also be available via WFMT Radio Network to public radio stations throughout the United States and internationally as a 13-part series starting in April 2015.
