市面上研究塞爾金演奏藝術，獨一無二的必備典藏。
本套專輯是鋼琴大師魯道夫‧塞爾金為Columbia唱片公司錄製的所有錄音，首度完整發行，收錄於75張CD中，為市面上研究塞爾金演奏藝術獨一無二的必備典藏。錄音橫跨1941-1985年，四十多年間所錄製的協奏曲、奏鳴曲、室內樂以及藝術歌曲。與其合作的音樂家包括：他的岳父布許（Adolf Busch）、大提琴家卡薩爾斯（Pablo Casals）、他的兒子彼得‧塞爾金（Peter Serkin）、小提琴家拉雷多（Jaime Laredo）、指揮家萊納（Fritz Reiner）、塞爾（George Szell）、奧曼第（Eugene Ormandy）、托斯卡尼尼（Arturo Toscanini）等人。
鋼琴家魯道夫‧塞爾金（Rudolf Serkin, 1903-1991）出生於波希米亞（現今之捷克）。幼年於奧地利學習鋼琴，自小顯露音樂才華，六歲時便能演奏舒伯特的即興曲。17歲開始演奏生涯，結識德國小提琴家阿道夫‧布許（Adolf Busch），並與布許的家人組成四重奏團。1935年與布許的女兒艾琳（Irene）結婚。1939年為避納粹迫害移居美國。1968-76年擔任寇蒂斯音樂院（Curtis Institute of Music）的院長，擅長詮釋莫札特、貝多芬、舒伯特和布拉姆斯的鋼琴作品。被譽為二十世紀最偉大的貝多芬詮釋者之一。
專輯中，共有45份錄音的原始類比母帶以24bit-192kHz之規格重新處理。其中包含了13曲首度以CD格式發行的錄音、15曲首度獲得授權發行。每一張專輯均保留原始黑膠唱片封面設計，並邀請魯道夫‧塞爾金之子彼德‧塞爾金（Peter Serkin）為專輯寫序言，學者Jürgen Kestin也為專輯撰寫論文介紹塞爾金之演奏藝術。
彼德‧塞爾金表示：「父親常常告訴他，盡可能徹底地學習一件作品之後，勤奮練習並排練，然後去演奏，忘記一切。他對音樂的熱情表現在他對作品與作曲家有關的一切之研究上。由於他無私的鑽研方式，即使是微小的事情，都充滿活力與個性」。塞爾金一直以嚴謹的態度詮釋這些與其心靈最親近的作品，卸除這些作品經常被附加的炫麗外衣，將作品的內在真實地呈現，向樂壇宣示其藝術本質與詮釋觀點。
