Daniil Trifonov in Tokyo: Rameau, Mozart, Mendelssohn & Beethoven
Premiering on Saturday, August 31
Filmed live in Tokyo’s legendary Suntory Hall in April 2024, Daniil Trifonov presents a thrilling recital culminating in one of the great challenges of the piano repertoire, Beethoven’s mighty “Hammerklavier” Sonata of 1818 – a revolutionary work that at the time broke all the rules for the length and technical demands of a piano sonata. To complete the programme, the pianist performs a suite by French Baroque master Jean-Philippe Rameau, one of Mozart’s best-loved piano sonatas, plus the virtuosic Variations sérieuses, Op. 54, composed by Felix Mendelssohn in 1842 in response to the “brilliant” variations that were so prevalent at the time.

Daniil Trifonov & Semyon Bychkov in Dvořák & Berlioz
Live on Thursday, September 26
The Czech Philharmonic kicks off its new season with a visit from pianist Daniil Trifonov, who joins the orchestra’s outgoing music director in a relative rarity by Dvořák: his piano concerto, premiered in Prague in 1878 and championed by such pianists as Rudolf Firkušný and Sviatoslav Richter.For the concert’s second half, Bychkov and his orchestra tackle one of the quintessential works of musical Romanticism: Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique of 1830, a work of wild imagination that portrays an artist’s opium-fuelled daydreams turning into the nightmare of a Witches’ Sabbath and then a March to the Scaffold that brings one of the most thrilling orchestral showpieces in the repertoire to a rousing conclusion.
