Rachmaninoff by Philadelphia Orchestra & Daniil Trifonov at the Philharmonie de Paris

On October 29, 2023, the Grande Salle Pierre Boulez in the Philharmonie de Paris will host a major musical event: a concert by the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, with the exceptional participation of Daniil Trifonov on piano. This event celebrates the 150th anniversary of the birth of the iconic Russian composer Serge Rachmaninoff.

Serge Rachmaninoff, born on April 1 1873 and died on March 28 1943, was one of the most influential composers of the 20th century. His works brilliantly combine romanticism and modernity, emotion and technique. He has left a priceless legacy to the history of music. His connection with the Philadelphia Orchestra was a strong one, which is why the orchestra's participation in this event dedicated to Rachmaninoff is so fitting.

The concert will feature two major works by Rachmaninoff: his "Piano Concerto No. 4" and his "Symphony No. 2". The first work represents Rachmaninoff's stylistic maturity, marked by harmonic and rhythmic freedom, and will be performed by the leading pianist of the Rachmaninoff repertoire, Daniil Trifonov.

The young Russian pianist impresses with his sensitive, virtuoso interpretation of Rachmaninoff's works. He was awarded the Diapason d'or for his recording of Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 2 and Concerto No. 4, with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
