本集精介 本套專輯為拉赫曼尼諾夫作品的真正全集，從早年學生時期的習作，直到逝世前的作品錄音，首度集合在這套專輯當中，絕對是拉赫曼尼諾夫作品有史以來最完整且最具決定性的全集版本。其中還收錄了拉赫曼尼諾夫於1919-29年間，親自為再現鋼琴（註）所作的紙捲錄音，包含許多小品與改編曲。珍貴的音樂文獻，超值低價限量發行，絕對值得典藏。
拉赫曼尼諾夫（Serge Rachmaninov, 1873-1943）為俄羅斯作曲家、鋼琴家與指揮，四歲時開始學琴，之後到聖彼得堡與莫斯科的音樂學院學習鋼琴、理論與作曲，1891年畢業於莫斯科音樂院鋼琴班，次年則得到作曲家班的文憑。其音樂天分早在音樂院發表第1號鋼琴協奏曲和歌劇《阿雷柯》時就已顯現，不久又發表第1號交響曲等作品，展現了豐富的多樣性。早期的創作受到所崇拜的柴可夫斯基之影響，充滿了濃烈的樂曲情感。這段期間由於《升c小調前奏曲》的成功轟動一時，讓他獲得1898年赴倫敦指揮演出的邀請。進入二十世紀之後，作品日趨成熟，如第2號、第3號鋼琴協奏曲、歌劇《吝嗇的騎士》及《黎密尼的法蘭契絲卡》等，接連得到佳評。
他曾多次帶團赴外演出，也在莫斯科舉行音樂會。直到1917年蘇維埃政權成立，趁海外巡迴演奏之際在美國定居下來。遠離家鄉並經過十年的空白，他才陸續發表第4號鋼琴協奏曲、《帕格尼尼主題狂想曲》和第3號鋼琴協奏曲與《交響舞曲》等重要代表作。1943年逝世於加州。
拉赫曼尼諾夫為二十世紀的音樂史寫下燦爛的一頁：三部歌劇、三首交響曲、四首協奏曲、多首管弦樂曲、鋼琴音樂、合唱曲、室內樂與歌曲。許多作品因電影選為配樂而更廣為人知，如電影《鋼琴師》中的《第3號鋼琴協奏曲》，以及《似曾相識》中採用的《帕格尼尼主題狂想曲》等。
受惠於DECCA眾多的傑出音樂家，這套專輯得以呈現最高水準的演出效果，其中流砥柱便是鋼琴家與指揮家阿胥肯納吉。他不僅出版過拉赫曼尼諾夫的主要鋼琴作品全集，更擔任拉赫曼尼諾夫協會的主席。一生以彈奏拉赫曼尼諾夫聞名，前後灌錄過兩套拉赫曼尼諾夫鋼琴協奏曲全集，其中的第三號協奏曲還灌錄過三次。其所灌錄的拉赫曼尼諾夫作品，至今都還是最具有代表性的經典。也是少數頂尖鋼琴家中，關注到拉赫曼尼諾夫一些較不為人知鋼琴作品的人。如拉赫曼尼諾夫改編自己的宗教曲《晚禱》中的樂章，是一首少為人知，只有像阿胥肯納吉這樣出身俄國音樂院的行家才知曉的作品。
專輯中還附贈了一張「真正的拉赫曼尼諾夫」（The Real Rachmaninov）CD，內容為阿胥肯納吉與音樂專家羅伯．考萬（Rob Cowan）討論俄羅斯浪漫音樂的談話錄音。
註：再現鋼琴（ reproducing piano）是二十世紀初唯一能夠記錄演奏家的彈奏並加以重新播放的樂器。雖然當時愛迪生的錄音技術已經開始被運用，但顯然還不是十分優良，因此在當時記錄音樂最佳的方式便是再現鋼琴的紙捲，而重播的最佳工具就是再現鋼琴。在 1920年代想要買鋼琴的人，可以在 Steinway, Bechstein等大公司的展示室中聽到由 拉赫曼尼諾夫，或是帕德烈夫斯基（Paderewski）等人經由再現鋼琴演奏他們的拿手曲目，很顯然地，這是最具說服力的呈現方式。
