Daniil Trifonov, the celebrated Russian pianist, delivers a breathtaking performance of Franz Liszt's virtuosic works in his album "Transcendental - Daniil Trifonov Plays Franz Liszt." Released on October 7, 2016, under the prestigious Deutsche Grammophon label, this album is a testament to Trifonov's extraordinary technical prowess and artistic sensitivity.
The album spans a generous 1 hour and 57 minutes, featuring a collection of Liszt's most demanding and captivating compositions.

Each étude is a world unto itself, from the fiery "Mazeppa" to the hauntingly beautiful "Paysage" and the dramatic "Eroica."
Beyond the Transcendental Études, Trifonov also explores other notable works by Liszt, including the Waldesrauschen, Gnomenreigen, and the Grandes Études de Paganini. These pieces showcase Liszt's genius for transforming even the most technically challenging material into deeply expressive music.
Trifonov's playing is nothing short of electrifying, combining blistering speed and precision with a deep understanding of Liszt's romantic sensibilities. His interpretations are both virtuosic and deeply personal, revealing the emotional depth and technical brilliance of Liszt's compositions.
Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience. Daniil Trifonov's rendition of Franz Liszt's works is a must-listen for anyone seeking to explore the heights of piano performance.
