'We proudly want to highlight the Grammy Nomination of Destination Rachmaninov – Arrival by Daniil Trifonov in collaboration with Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the Philadelphia Orchestra, which further provides grounds for this amazing new Rachmaninoff cycle to be released and indicates its potential. The recordings of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s complete Piano Concertos with Daniil Trifonov on Deutsche Grammophon are widely acclaimed – now, the Philadelphia Orchestra and their Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin are embarking on another project of Rachmaninoff’s works, presenting his three Symphonies and other orchestral works.This first album entails the composer’s Symphony No. 1 with the Symphonic Dances, thereby combining one of his earliest compositions with his very last one. This album will be the first of three Rachmaninoff releases with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Yannick Nézet-Séguin, followed by recordings of Symphony No. 2 and The Isle of the Death in 2022 and, commemorating the 150th anniversary of Rachmaninoff’s birthday in 2023, Symphony No. 3 and The Bells.
