“RACHMANINOFF FOR TWO”: Sergei Babayan and Daniil Trifonov
Sergey Babayan and Daniil Trifonov, pianists, have recorded a new CD. “RACHMANINOFF FOR TWO” was released by the renowned Deutsche Grammophon label and went on sale on March 29.
Last year in celebration of the 150th anniversary of Rachmaninoff’s birth, the two pianists Daniil Trifonov and Sergei Babayan performed a joint concert at the Vienna Konzerthaus. The program included the Russian composer’s two Suites for two pianos and the bold, vibrant two-piano version of his Symphonic Dances. Babayan acknowledges Rachmaninoff as a genius both as a composer and as a pianist: “When he writes for two players and two pianos, we mortals have the chance to experience how he played on just one piano.”
Sergey Babayan recorded three CDs for Deutsche Grammophon. The first was released in 2018 together with Marta Argerich, and the second one - in 2020.
