CSO Artist-in-Residence Daniil Trifonov celebrates music from the country he now calls home with his new double album ranging from jazz and swing to modernism, minimalism, and popular soundtracks. Joined by the Philadelphia Orchestra and Yannick Nézet-Séguin for George Gershwin’s Concerto in F and the world premiere recording of the concerto written for him by Mason Bates, Trifonov also performs solo works by John Adams, John Cage, Aaron Copland, John Corigliano, Bill Evans, Dave Grusin, Thomas Newman, and Art Tatum. The first of two volumes (presumably My American Story – South is forthcoming), the album has been releases on 2 CDs as well as in a 3-LP deluxe vinyl version.
