Daniil Trifonov invites listeners to follow him to fin de siècle Paris, Moscow, Rome, and St. Petersburg with a collection of seminal works by the three greatest exponents of Russia’s cultural Silver Age: Scriabin, Stravinsky, and Prokofiev. Each a protégé of the impresario Sergei Diaghilev, this trio of composers reflects the vibrant cocktail of colliding aesthetic and philosophical expressions during the brief, yet hugely influential period from the late–19th century to the early years of the Soviet Union. From Scriabin’s pianistic mysticism through Stravinsky’s balletic iconoclasm, to Prokofiev’s sardonic pyrotechnics, Silver Age captures a unique moment in time that changed music forever.
