Inspired by the painting by the Swiss artist Arnold B cklin, Rachmaninoff composed his symphonic poem in the spring of 1909, completing it while on tour in Dresden just two weeks before the premiere - given in Moscow on 1 May 1909 with the composer conducting the Moscow Philharmonic. The score reproduced here is an authoritative Soviet score issued some time after the composer's death.

Sergei Rachmaninoff was the solo pianist for the world premiere of his third concerto, renowned as one of the most challenging in the entire piano repertoire, in New York on November 28, 1909 with the New York Symphony conducted by Walter Damrosch. The score reproduced here is an authoritative Soviet edition produced sometime after the composer's death.

Rachmaninov's first one-act opera was written in 1893 while still a student at the Moscow Conservatory. The opera, with a libretto by Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko after a play by Alexander Pushkin, was given its premiere in May 1893 at Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre. Rachmaninov's characteristic writing is already apparent, complete with the colorful orchestration that was a hallmark of his compositional style. This score is a digitally enhanced reprint of the one first issued by Muzgiz (the USSR State Publisher) in the 1950s.

Composed in 1913 to Konstantin Balmont's free adaptation in Russian of poetry by Edgar Allan Poe, Kolokola (also knwon as The Bells), was one of Rachmaninoff's favorites among his own works. Balmont's Russian setting was sent to the composer by an anonymous admirer while he was in Rome. Rachmaninoff often referred to the work as a "choral symphony" and even for a short time as his "Third Symphony." Composed at the same desk used by Tchaikovsky in Rome, the piece has some parallels with the works of the earlier Russian master - notably the Pathetique Symphony and The Queen of Spades. Rachmaninoff conducted the premiere himself in Moscow on February 8, 1913. This new large-size vocal score is a heavily modified reissue of the original 1920 Gutheil score transcribed by the composer's friend Alexander Goldenweiser - with the German and English translations removed and a singing transliteration of Balmont's original Russian text inserted. Unlike so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is readable.
