to what promises

Please, I think the sentence is better without the part in bold with the addition of 'to'.

Am I right?

"Saccani's excellent recording is an auspicious start to what promises to be a distinguished musical career."

Saccani's excellent recording is an auspicious start to a distinguished musical career.

Thank you

No, the original is better. At the moment we do not know for sure that he will have a distinguished musical career. There is only the promise.
