Daniil Trifonov gained fame nine years ago. At the age of twenty, he was awarded the Grand Prix of the Tchaikovsky competition. The award, which was then instituted for the first time, was presented to the musician by maestro Gergiev, who initiated the creation of the competition’s main prize. The pianist participated in the Mariinsky Theater festival projects, its orchestra’s touring trips, and recordings of world-class music albums.
In 2018, Trifonov won the Grammy Award in the Best Classical Instrumental Solo Performance nomination for the Franz Liszt piano transcendental studies.
