Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Minor, Op. 40 - 1. Allegro vivace (Alla breve)

As a teenager Daniil Trifonov absorbed lessons from the recordings of Sergei Rachmaninov, lessons that fed the creative process of his latest Deutsche Grammophon project. Destination Rachmaninov – Departure is the first of two albums comprising Trifonov’s cycle of the great Russian composer’s piano concertos. Joining Trifonov on both albums are the musicians of the Philadelphia Orchestra. “I realised when we first worked together how much respect the Philadelphia players have for Rachmaninov’s music and how much knowledge they have of his idiom,” Trifonov recalls. “It was a terrific idea to record the four concertos with such a great orchestra and a real honour to share the journey with them.” Rachmaninov would have thought the same. Having settled in the United States as an exile from Soviet Russia, he wrote the following to a friend in Moscow: “The best orchestras in America are in Philadelphia (with which I make records) and New York. He who hasn’t heard these can’t know what an orchestra is.” Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Minor, Op. 40 - 1.
