The programme comprised Tchaikovsky’s Piano Sonata in C-sharp minor and a concert suite from “The Sleeping Beauty”, six Chopin waltzes, and Samuel Barber’s Piano Sonata in E-flat minor.
Trifonov was awarded the Gold Medal at the 2011 International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow at the age of twenty, a year after receiving a prize at the Chopin Competition in Warsaw. The juror Martha Argerich stated of him at the Chopin Competition that “he has everything and more”.
