Played by inferior musicians, Rachmaninoff's cascading notes often become a blur, but Mr Lim makes each crystalline, purposeful and often startlingly beautiful.

在劣等音乐家的演奏下，拉赫玛尼诺夫层叠的音符常常变得模糊不清，但林先生让每一个都变得清晰、有目的性，而且往往美得惊人。

It is a wildly emotional, lyrical piece that reflects the Russian romantic tradition, which Rachmaninoff continued as his peers experimented with avant-garde sounds.

这是一首反映俄罗斯浪漫主义传统的狂热抒情作品，拉赫玛尼诺夫在他的同龄人尝试前卫音乐时延续了这一传统。

When asked about her change from classical music to jazz, she would later say: I loved Rachmaninoff, but then Oscar Peterson became my Rachmaninoff.

当人们问到她为何从古典音乐转向爵士音乐时，她会说: “我爱拉赫玛尼诺夫，但后来奥斯卡·彼得森成了我的拉赫玛尼诺夫。”

A pianist and conductor as well as a composer, Rachmaninoff wrote the 40-minute concerto in 1909 and gave its premiere during a successful American concert tour in the same year.

作为钢琴家、指挥家和作曲家，拉赫玛尼诺夫于 1909 年创作了这部 40 分钟的协奏曲，并在同年成功的美国巡回演出中首演。

拉赫曼尼诺夫的孙女告诉BBC，这位作曲家希望埋葬在纽约州自己的妻子和女儿身旁，所以家人不愿意违背他的意志。
