 Getting to know Rachmaninoff Jun 22, 2009
I was first exposed to Rachmaninoff through the movie "Somewhere In Time", starring Christopher Reeves. The score titled 18th Variation was the most romantic melody I have ever heard. I am a novice when it comes to classical music but this composition captured my imagination, so I set out to find out more about Rachmaninoff. YO YO Ma performes the 18th Variation and it surpasses my expectations. As with most things favored it ends too soon. The remainder of the CD is nice-I am pleased.
Perfect music to listen to during a dinner party Sep 02, 2008
Some times it is difficult to select a piece of music that is perfect to have in the back ground while having a dinner party, this CD is perfect it is melodic, romantic and easy to listen to. I like to have it on full volume while preparing dinner and having a wee glass of wine!
 Sergei Rachmaninoff: Greatest Hits Jan 04, 2008
The cover is misleading. It lists the 2nd piano concerto but the CD only has a small part of the concerto on it.

Yes Apr 02, 2003
This is a marvelous collection. There were a few pieces I wish that it would include, such as the rest of his Piano Concerto No.2, or perhaps The Rock, but the fact that the performances are generally great and the recording quality is near-perfect makes up for that.
I would recommend this to anyone who is just starting to become interested in the works of Sergei Rachmaninov.

 Great Collection of "Hits" Jun 22, 2000
This is actually not a bad collection of Greatest Hits. Usually the problem with collections like these is that they have bad recordings and not very good performances but some of these ones are actually okay, and it features performances by Yo-Yo Ma and Emanuel Ax among others. In general these are the works of art you think of when you think of Rachmaninoff and so these pieces are a perfect representation of his style.
