Serghei Vasilievici Rahmaninov a fost un compozitor, pianist și dirijor rus din perioada romantismului târziu. Este considerat unul dintre ultimii mari reprezentanți ai romantismului în muzica clasică rusă, opera sa fiind caracterizată prin melodicitate, expresivitate și orchestrație bogată.
Boxul de opt discuri The 4 Piano Concertos / The 3 Symphonies a fost lansat în 2017 de casa de discuri Warner Classics ca o compilație a operelor orchestrale majore ale lui Rahmaninov. Include toate cele patru concerte pentru pian (op. 1, 18, 30 și 40), cele trei simfonii și Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini op. 43 — în total 90 de piese. Reprezintă o sinteză completă a moștenirii orchestrale a compozitorului, în care pianul este în prim-plan ca instrument al expresiei virtuoase și al sentimentului profund.
