Daniil Trifonov – Prokofiev: Sarcasms for Piano, Op. 17: III. Allegro precipitato

The pianist’s programme captures the future-facing, rule-defying energy of landmark pieces by three exceptionally gifted composers. It also reveals how elements of Silver Age aesthetics, including irony, a fascination with folk culture and ideas drawn from the past, surfaced in later compositions by Prokofiev, including his score for Cinderella and the Eighth Piano Sonata, a mature exploration of the musical ideals of the years in which he had established his reputation as an iconoclastic young composer-pianist. Above all, Daniil Trifonov’s choice of music mirrors the inventive variety of this brief but explosive cultural moment.

“Scriabin,” he notes, “wished to combine all aesthetic experience in a single, mystical, musical vision; Stravinsky unified the arts through a radical re-interpretation of ballet; Prokofiev, meanwhile, embraced cinema as the most complete and modern synthesis of the senses.”

Having paved the way for future artistic achievements, the spirit of Russia’s Silver Age is justly celebrated in these new recordings.
