Sergei Dogadin | Daniil Trifonov

"They sound so violin-like," enthused Dmitri Shostakovich about his own 24 Piano Preludes Op. 34. "Violin-like"? Yes, because Dmitri Zyganov, first violinist of the Beethoven Quartet and a good friend of Shostakovich, arranged 19 of these delightful pieces for violin and piano. The composer Lera Auerbach completed the cycle in 2000, which will be performed in its entirety as an Austrian premiere in Grafenegg. Sergei Dogadin and Daniil Trifonov, both former winners of the Tchaikovsky Competition, are among the most qualified interpreters of our time. They will begin their chamber concert with Sergei Prokofiev's 1st Violin Sonata in F minor Op. 80, dedicated to David Oistrach and premiered by him and Lev Oborin in 1946, in which the mood of the time of its creation is captured in a strikingly vivid and poignant manner.
