Mäkelä & Trifonov by Brahms, Boulez, Dvořák, From (2025/2025), Conductor Klaus Mäkelä, Symphony Center Chicago, Chicago, United States

Overview CSO Artist-in-Residence Daniil Trifonov, “without question the most astounding pianist of our age” (The Times of London), takes on Brahms’ Second Piano Concerto, as remarkable for its rich orchestral writing as for its simultaneously glittering and muscular piano part. Dvořák’s turbulent Seventh Symphony is both an expression of the composer’s personal crises and a lyrical tribute to the Czech spirit.
