FABIO LUISI conducts
DANIIL TRIFONOV piano
BRAHMS Piano Concerto No. 1
SCHMIDT Symphony No. 4
Brahms’s First Piano Concerto is symphonic in scope and unabashedly dramatic and intense; a perfect vehicle to highlight the virtuosity of GRAMMY® Award-winning Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov, hailed as “the most astounding pianist of our age.”
Music Director Fabio Luisi frequently champions the works of Austrian composer Franz Schmidt, whose tragic Fourth Symphony, composed in 1933, was a quasi-Requiem for the premature death of his daughter. Powerfully moving, this symphony is a true masterpiece.
