Pianist Daniil Trifonov, whose playing the New York Times called "simply electrifying," plays Franz Liszt's complete concert etudes on his new two-disc album, Transcendental, released by Deutsche Grammophon. Trifonov recorded his visionary interpretations within the space of five days, a feat in keeping with the tireless energy and superhuman spirit of Liszt himself. In addition to the Transcendental Etudes, the recital includes the Paganini Etudes and five Concert Etudes.
