    With his new project, star pianist Daniil Trifonov embarks on a very personal musical journey across the Americas. The first of a total of two albums, My American Story - North, begins in the USA, where Trifonov has spent almost half of his life. The album's diverse repertoire “has given me access to many perspectives, styles, cultures, places, people, stories and forms of expression that have shaped and molded my experience of America,” says Trifonov. The selected works range from jazz and swing to minimal music and popular film music. Two piano concertos form the framework of the album: Gershwin's popular Concerto in F and the world premiere of a concerto composed especially for Trifonov by Mason Bates. Both are accompanied by the Philadelphia Orchestra under Yannick Nézet-Séguin. Solo pieces for piano include works by John Adams, Aaron Copland, John Corigliano and Dave Grusin, Trifonov's own transcription of jazz classics such as Art Tatum's “I Cover the Waterfront”, Bill Evans' version of “When I Fall in Love”, selected pieces from Hollywood classics The Firm and American Beauty as well as John Cage's legendary “4'33”.
