Rachmaninoff piano rolls are a unique piece of musical history. A piano roll is a music storage medium consisting of a roll of paper with perforations that control the playback of a player piano or other automatic musical instrument. These piano rolls were popular in the early 20th century as a way to enjoy live performances without needing to attend a concert. The Rachmaninoff piano rolls are especially prized by music enthusiasts and historians as they provide a rare glimpse into the playing style of one of the greatest pianists of all time. They also offer a fascinating contrast to modern recordings, as they capture the sound and style of an era before the advent of digital recording technology. Rachmaninoff's musicality and spontaneity is on show in all of his recordings, he never feels too confined to what's written on the page and instead freely explores, embellishes and decorates the music in an organic and improvisatory manner.
