Kammermusik
Monday, 24. August 2026
7:30 p.m., Church Saanen
A summit meeting of two extraordinary talents: one of the world’s most sought-after pianists – who has already sparked multiple waves of enthusiasm at the Saanen Church – appears alongside a young compatriot shaped by the great Russian violin tradition. Trained in Vienna by Boris Kuschnir, himself a student of the legendary David Oistrakh – and, remarkably, also of Dmitri Shostakovich! Following the profoundly moving Violin Sonata No. 1 by Sergei Prokofiev – the very work performed in 1953 at the composer’s funeral by its dedicatee David Oistrakh – Daniil Trifonov presents a powerful artistic statement: the 24 Preludes for Piano, Op. 34. Composed in Prokofiev’s early years, this cycle consciously takes its cue from Johann Sebastian Bach. Each prelude unfolds in its own major or minor key, together forming a complete and compelling panorama of all tonalities.
