Information about the programme
When Daniil Trifonov played Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, one critic recommended begging for a ticket for the following concert, or even stealing one if necessary, in order to experience the “electrifying performance” of this “fiendishly difficult” work. He praised the pianist for his “almost superhuman” technique and for imbuing his performance with exceptional visceral energy. At this concert, Trifonov will perform this work in glorious harmony with the BRSO under the baton of Franz Welser-Möst, who is an expert in this repertoire. Strauss’ Rosenkavalier Suite (lasting a good 50 minutes), which renders the elegant conversations between the Marschallin, Baron Ochs, and Octavian audible even without words and singing, will then send the listeners dancing into the evening in infectious three-four time.
