Daniil Trifonov in Castelfranco

At just 23, Daniil Trifonov had already conquered the Tchaikovsky and Rubinstein Competitions, but prizes tell only part of the story. In Daniil Trifonov in Castelfranco (2013), we encounter a pianist whose artistry seems to dissolve the boundaries between composer, improviser and performer. Filmed at a moment when his meteoric rise was matched by a rare inwardness, the documentary captures both the intensity and the intimacy of his musical world — a portrait of genius in motion, and of a young artist already reshaping what it means to play, to think, and to dream at the piano.
