這套共36張CD的專輯，收錄一代大提琴大師皮亞提果斯基生前於RCA與Columbia唱片公司所有的錄音。詳細記錄其之所以成為大師的藝術造詣。錄音時間起自1940至1972年止共32年間，收錄51部作品，其中至少20部作品為首度以CD格式發行。所收錄的作品包含了德弗乍克、聖桑的大提琴協奏曲，以及布拉姆斯、柴可夫斯基、舒伯特、貝多芬等人的奏鳴曲及室內樂。所有專輯均保留原始封面設計，並由傳記作者Terry King撰寫全新解說文字。全部錄音均以24 bit/192 kHz重新加以處理，務求達到最高的音響水準。

皮亞提果斯基（Gregor Piatigorsky, 1903-1976）一生孜孜不倦地致力於獨奏、重奏演出和大提琴教學。十五歲時成為莫斯科大劇院芭蕾舞團樂隊的大提琴首席，後續接任柏林愛樂管弦樂團的首席大提琴手。1928年起開始獨奏生涯，與許納貝爾、佛萊雪組成三重奏團。1929年赴美與紐約愛樂樂團合作演出，大獲成功。1942年入美國籍，開始活躍在美國樂壇。華爾頓曾將大提琴協奏曲題獻給他。

皮亞提果斯基曾先後與霍洛維茲、米爾斯坦、魯賓斯坦、海飛茲組成三重奏團；並與海飛茲合作，舉行一系列室內樂演奏會並錄製了大量的經典唱片。皮亞提果斯基為RCA與Columbia唱片公司灌錄過不少錄音作品，其中以海飛茲合作演出的室內樂作品為數最多，但他個人的獨奏專輯反而不多。他的學生包括瓦列芙斯卡（Christine Walevska）與納撒尼爾‧羅森（Nathaniel Rosen）等人。納撒尼爾‧羅森13歲時，音樂天賦被皮亞提果斯基所發掘，因而成為他的學生。22歲時擔任皮亞提果斯基的助理，協助處理大小事務，直到1976年大師去世為止。而他的最後一位弟子，便是著名的大提琴家麥斯基（Mischa Maisky）。

皮亞提果斯基被稱為有史以來最偉大的弦樂器演奏家。他的演奏曾令克萊斯勒（Fritz Kreisler）感動落淚。理查・史特勞斯在聽過他與柏林愛樂的演出之後，表示：「終於聽到我想像中的唐吉軻德了！」（註：此處所指的「唐吉軻德」為史特勞斯以變奏曲的形式所作的同名交響詩。）他的演奏優美、格調高雅，音色富於變化，尤其黃金般的音色更具魅力。精確傳達作品應有的風貌和內涵。每一次的音樂會演出或是唱片錄音，都是兼具感情、理智和技巧的完美演奏。透過這套錄音全集，愛樂者將能完整體驗皮亞提果斯基少有人能及的大提琴演奏藝術。
