Trifonov plays Brahms

Brahms’ Second Piano Concerto
Brahms’ Second Piano Concerto is a monumental work, rich in symphonic grandeur. But in the hands of Daniil Trifonov, it transforms into something truly magical. Known for his extraordinary concentration and almost trance-like immersion in the music, he loses himself completely in every detail. His unique physical expressiveness at the piano—his playful, sometimes almost eccentric movements—makes his performances as visually captivating as they are musically profound (see video below). More than just a pianist, Trifonov is a storyteller, drawing listeners into a world of intensity and imagination.
