CRB's Brian McCreath picks Daniil Trifonov — Bach: Minuet in G Major, BWV Anh. 114, and writes

At CRB, we’ve been amazed by pianist Daniil Trifonov since he came to Boston for the first time, playing Chopin in our studio, in 2012. His most recent recording is Bach: The Art of Life, a sort of musical portrait of the Bach family. And sharing the space with the mind-blowing complexity and virtuosity of Bach’s The Art of Fugue is the beautiful collection – or notebook – Johann Sebastian assembled for his wife, Anna Magdalena. The elegant simplicity of what many of us learned as beginner pianists remains in this Minuet, but along with Trifonov’s world-class shadings and slight ornamentation, the context of the album lends the piece a sense of affection and warmth among a close-knit family.
