The London Times described Daniil Trifonov as “the most amazing young pianist of our time” when he presented his first Rachmaninov recording. On New Year’s Eve 2016, Trifonov played the composer’s Piano Concerto No. 3, regarded by many as the most difficult piano concerto of all time. Simon Rattle also presents Antonín Dvořák’s virtuoso Slavonic Dances and enters the world of British humour with orchestral pieces from William Walton’s Façade.
