Daniil Trifonov - Stravinsky: I. Danse russe (Trois mouvements de Petrouchka)

Jagged rythms and rustic Russian folk sounds further electrified Diaghilev and Sztravinsky s successor to The Firebird , Petrushka , presented by the Balletts Russes in Paris in 1911. "Like The Firebird ", says Trifnov, " Petrushka is based on a familiar trope in Russian culture - the celebration marking the arrival of the Spring Fair, which dates back to pagan times. Yet Petrushka is a more philosophical work. Unlike The Firebird , which ends in triumph, Petrushka is a tragic story, dealing with innocence, brutality, fate and despair - complex emotional themes resonating deep in Russian psyche - reflected upon Stravinsky in a rational modern light." Daniil Trifonov’s new album, 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. The tracklist also comprises Stravinsky s “Danse russe” from the Trois mouvements de Petrouchka . “The Silver Age period of art in Russian history is not a single aesthetic, but describes an increasingly fractured social, political, and intellectual environment – a cocktail of different artistic expressions, in agitated interaction.” DANIIL TRIFONOV Daniil Trifonov - Stravinsky: I.
