作曲家:Sergei Rachmaninoff  
樂器: Piano
出版社: G. Henle Verlag
原文簡介:
It is a matter of personal taste as to whether Rachmaninoff’s second or third piano concerto is his best. But there is no doubt that “Rach 3”, with its abundance of melodic ideas, today numbers among the best loved, and at the same time most technically challenging, in the concert literature. Polish pianist Josef Hofmann, to whom the concerto, written in 1909, was dedicated, did not want to perform it in public during his lifetime, and it was Vladimir Horowitz who eventually facilitated its breakthrough on the concert stage. As aside from the first edition and recordings, for this edition we were also able to consult the autograph full score that today is housed at the British Library. As with all of G. Henle Publishers’ Rachmaninoff editions, the fingering is by virtuoso of the century Marc-André Hamelin.
無論是拉赫曼尼諾夫的第二鋼琴協奏曲還是第三鋼琴協奏曲被認為是最佳之作，這都是個人品味的問題。然而，毋庸置疑的是，充滿旋律靈感的「拉赫三」（Rach 3），如今被公認為協奏曲文獻中最受喜愛，同時也是技術上最具挑戰性的作品之一。這部協奏曲於1909年完成，獻給波蘭鋼琴家約瑟夫·霍夫曼（Josef Hofmann），但霍夫曼在生前並不願意在公眾場合演奏此曲。最終，弗拉基米爾·霍洛維茨（Vladimir Horowitz）讓此曲得以在音樂會舞台上大放異彩。除了首版和錄音之外，這一版還參考了現今存於大英圖書館的原稿全譜。正如G. Henle出版社的所有拉赫曼尼諾夫作品版本一樣，本版的指法由本世紀的鋼琴大師馬克-安德烈·阿梅林（Marc-André Hamelin）親自編寫。
