Star pianist Daniil Trifonov made his dazzling entry onto the international scene by winning the International Tchaikovsky Competition in 2011. With this album, he returns to the composer's music in a beautiful selection of solo piano works evoking youth and family: the rarely performed Sonata op. 80, the Children's Album, the Variations op. 19/6, and the Concert Suite from The Sleeping Beauty, transcribed for piano by the eminent Russian pianist Mikhail Pletnev.
