Daniil Trifonov pays homage to music created during a pivotal period in Russian history. 'Silver Age', recorded with Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra, recalls a time when Russia's composers, poets, artists, dramatists and star performers were among the most original anywhere in the world. It illustrates the artistic audacity and brilliance of a turbulent era in the country's history with works by three of its most pioneering composers: Scriabin's 'Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in F sharp minor Op.20', Prokofiev's 'Piano Concerto No.2 in G minor Op.16' and Stravinsky's 'Three Movements from Petrushka'. Having paved the way for future artistic achievements, the spirit of Russia's 'Silver Age' is justly celebrated in these new recordings.' Album highlights: UK: Album charted on #7 in Classical Charts. Presto Recording of the week. BBC Radio 3 - Record Review (UK). Five Star Review in Rondo Magazine (Germany).
