Trifonov performed Bates' piano concerto in various combinations with nine different orchestras, including the Philadelphia Orchestra (Jan. 14 - 16, 2022), the New Jersey Symphony (Mar. 10 - 13, 2022), the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (Mar. 22 & 25, 2022), the San Francisco Symphony (Jun. 2 - 5, 2022), the Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France (Sep. 16, 2022), the Orquesta y Coro Nacionales de España (Oct. 7 - 9, 2022), Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra (Oct. 14 & 15, 2022), the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin (Feb. 3, 2024), and the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia (May 9 - 11, 2024). In June 2024, he will perform this concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Excerpt from Benjamin Pesetsky's program note:
Inspiration and Collaboration
Bates’s Piano Concerto was commissioned by the Philadelphia Orchestra and the San Francisco Symphony for Daniil Trifonov, who inspired the composer with his “remarkable technique, meditative sensitivity, and a composer’s mind to every note he plays."
Bates began planning the Concerto during the early days of the pandemic and dove into Trifonov’s recording catalog, finding it “a soulful soundtrack in my house while live music ceased.”
A Closer Look
Bates’s Piano Concerto is in three movements that seem to travel through different musical eras, filtered through the suspended atmospheres, playful themes, and driving climaxes that are hallmarks of his music. The first movement suggests the Renaissance, filled with hand drums and plucked strings that recall the sound of lutes and early guitars. The reflective slow movement echoes the Romanticism of the 19th century, while the finale (connected from the second movement without pause) is thoroughly contemporary, with hypnotic rhythms and fistfuls of clustered dissonances for Trifonov.
Bates describes the Concerto in detail:
The work evolves through three distinct stylistic sound worlds. The opening movement has an almost Renaissance transparency, pairing the soloist’s progressively more ornamented four-part chorale with strumming pizzicato and reedy winds. After an invention-like cadenza for the soloist, the brass enter with much fanfare as the pianist reaches the lowest, most sonorous depths of the instrument.
The middle movement lurches a hundred years ahead, with the Romantically depressed soloist brooding apart from the orchestra. Radiant textures from each instrument family attempt to lift the soloist’s spirits. It is only when the orchestra comes together in a lustrous tutti that it succeeds, and at this moment the soloist and orchestra finally play together.
Another fast-forward brings us to the more contemporary jazzminimalist finale, alight with mercurial humor and lopsided grooves. The accumulation of quicksilver textures explodes in fanfares, with the opening chorale tune reappearing dramatically, and all musical elements spin together in the Concerto’s final minute.

I absolutely loved this work. Trifanov played his very tricky part well and he and the orchestra were wonderful together. great conducting.
Brillante , todos los sonidos , magistral.
Verliebte mich in diese bezaubernde Komposition nach mehrmaligem Hören. Dies jetzt in Rom noch live zu sehen schätze ich sehr. Daniil setzt gekonnt seine ganze Farb Palette ein, spielt mit derselben Hingabe die er an alt- ehrwürdige Komponisten wendet. Freue mich Mason Bates dabei zu sehen.Die Interviews sind höchst interessant. Natürlich wird in Rom italienisch gesprochen - was sonst ?
Ist doch die schönste Sprache der Welt. Und man spricht gern und viel ! Übersetzt auch Daniil's Englisch gleich ins italienische. Aber was die Signori so klangvoll von sich gaben war wirklich gut und treffend. Das ganze Video eine überraschende Wundertüte bis zum Ende.
Maestro Hrusa und Orchester einfach super !

Herzlichen Dank dem Provider Daniil Trifonov Fan !❤
Мне тоже очень понравился концерт Мейсена Бейтса и фантастически яркая игра моего любимого Даниила Трифонова. Очень понравились все интервью.

@@Ирина-е8ф2й Mason Bates mag ich sehr gerne. Er ist liebenswürdig und ist natürlich sehr erfreut über den grossen Erfolg seines Konzertes. Daniil hat es mehr als zwanzig mal gespielt, in Asien Europa und den USA. Bates sagte dass er selbst einige Konzerte besucht habe, und dass es jedesmal wieder etwas anders gespielt wurde von den verschiedenen Orchestern. Unter Daniil's Führung habe seine Komposition dazugewonnen. Besonders freute er sich über das Lächeln in Daniil's Gesicht während des Spielens.
Daniil fand die Komposition sehr gut, und er hat daran keine Note verändert , was Bates gefreut hat. Die Zwei verstehen sich sehr gut.
Und uns bringt es etwas Helles, wie Du treffend sagst, in unser Leben .❤️
@@elisabethbaumer-sn8goДа,Элиза,мне тоже очень нравится,как Даниил играет концерт Бейтса и сам композитор очень милый.❤❤❤❤❤
