Overview

Silver Age is pianist Daniil Trifonov’s dazzling tribute to the artistic ferment of Russia’s Silver Age, the short yet intensely influential period from the late 19th century to the early Soviet era. Together with Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra, Trifonov explores the radical voices of Alexander Scriabin, Igor Stravinsky, and Sergei Prokofiev—all protégés of the legendary impresario Sergei Diaghilev.

From Scriabin’s mystical harmonies to Stravinsky’s balletic brilliance and Prokofiev’s biting energy, this 2-CD set captures the cultural and philosophical collisions that forever transformed modern music.
