LA Phil and Dudamel nominated in four Grammy categories for Revolución diamantina

Revolución diamantina is the second release in the collaboration between Platoon, the LA Phil and Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel, documenting part of the orchestra’s Pan- American music initiative – a multi-year project exploring more than 30 new commissions and numerous creative partnerships to emphasize the importance of Latin American heritage. Following last year’s GRAMMY-nominated album Fandango, Revolución diamantina includes Ortiz’s new violin concerto, Altar de cuerda, performed by violinist María Dueñas. Revolución diamantina is a powerful new ballet score, inspired by Mexico’s 2019 “Glitter Revolution,” the feminist uprising around the country’s epidemic of violence against women. The album has been nominated in the categories of Best Engineered Album - Classical, Best Classical Compendium, Best Contemporary Classical Composition and Best Orchestral Performance. Producer Dmitriy Lipay has also been recognized in the Producer of the Year – Classical category, for this work on this album.
