Daniil Trifonov The Philadelphia Orchestra Yannick Nézet-Séguin

MY AMERICAN STORY: NORTH Daniil Trifonov

My American Story: North

Works by Green · Gershwin · Copland Young · Newman · Bates and more

Star pianist Daniil Trifonov releases his new album My American Story &ndash; North, embarking on a very personal musical journey across the Americas. The first of a total of two albums, My American Story - North, begins in the USA, where Trifonov has spent almost half of his life. It features a collection of pieces reflecting the variety of his experiences. The album's diverse repertoire &ldquo;has given me access to many perspectives, styles, cultures, places, people, stories and forms of expression that have shaped and molded my experience of America,&rdquo; says Trifonov.&nbsp;
The selected works range from jazz and swing to minimal music and popular film music. Two piano concertos form the framework of the album: Gershwin's popular Concerto in F and the world premiere of a concerto composed especially for Trifonov by Mason Bates. Both are accompanied by the Philadelphia Orchestra under Yannick N&eacute;zet-S&eacute;guin.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Solo pieces for piano include works by John Adams, Aaron Copland, John Corigliano and Dave Grusin, Trifonov's own transcription of jazz classics such as Art Tatum's I Cover the Waterfront, Bill Evans' version of When I Fall in Love, selected pieces from Hollywood classics &ldquo;The Firm&rdquo; and &ldquo;American Beauty&rdquo; as well as John Cage's legendary 4'33. &ldquo;I did not intend to record an anthology,&rdquo; says Trifonov. &ldquo;These are simply favourites of mine that speak to me on a musical level.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The album is released digitally, on two CDs and as a 3-LP vinyl version, which further offers extended liner notes, additional photos and two bonus tracks. A follow-up album entitled My American Story &ndash; South, showcasing the equally rich and eclectic music of Latin America, will be released at a later date.&nbsp;
