Daniil Trifonov and Valery Gergiev have frequently performed together, with their April 2014 performance at the Barbican Centre, London, praised in the press:

“Trifonov's performance was a marvel, a mixture of exuberance and fabulous subtlety, as remarkable for the delicate precision of his wispy pianissimos as for the irrepressible energy of its grandstanding rhetoric.”
Guardian, April 2014

In October 2011, Trifonov joined Gergiev and the Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theatre to Carnegie Hall, New York, for another praised performance:
“Technique is simply not an issue for Trifonov, and he knows how to apply this freedom in the service of the music. In his two encores – Chopin's Grand Valse brilliante and Liszt's La campanella – the word "storyteller" kept coming to mind.
Crouching in front of the piano, Trifonov knows how to get inside a piece and make it come to life. The Chopin was full of tasteful nuances and literally danced, while the Liszt showed off Trifonov's incredible passagework and control of structure.”
Classical Source, October 2011
