Praised by international critics, Daniil Trifonov, soon to be 29, is one of the most brilliant pianists of his generation and already shares the summit of Russian piano playing with his colleagues Denis Matsuev and Evgeny Kissin. His last visit to the Maison Symphonique, last year, was marked by troubles that forced the cancellation of his show, followed by a magical performance the next day. Daniil Trifonov returns to Montreal with the aura of a great star. He won the Tchaikovsky Competition in 2011 and third prize at the 16th Frederic Chopin Piano Competition.
