少有钢琴家能够如霍洛维兹（Vladimir Horowitz, 1904-1989）一样快速地窜起，而且完全地被认可；十六岁时他便可以公开演奏十一套节目，而且曲目完全不重复。二十一岁便在圣彼得堡声名大噪，而在西方世界的演出也是卖座鼎盛，并因此获邀为Welte Mignon公司录音。1928年他巡回美国演出，开始正式的演奏生涯。六零年代的霍洛维兹，音乐趋于成熟，开始展现真正大师级演奏家的风范。年轻时对技巧的追求，此时则转移到音乐内涵的经营，而对于曲目的选择，也更加谨慎。
这一套50张CD的专辑，收录1966-1983年间，霍洛维兹在14座不同的音乐厅，举办的25场独奏会中，所演奏的十三套节目。这些未曾出版过的现场演奏录音，带领乐迷从他的故乡来到纽约最知名的音乐厅，从美国康乃狄克州的第二大城纽哈芬市（New Haven）到芝加哥、华盛顿特区、费城、波士顿，以及之外的更多地方。其中记录了许多重要的历史时刻，包括了1978年他受卡特总统邀请至白宫演奏，以及1982年为了英国皇家歌剧院而特别举办的音乐会。
专辑内容包含学者Bernie Horowitz所撰写的解说、长期担任霍洛维兹专辑制作人Thomas Frost之访谈，以及完整的录音数据。录音中包括了从不曾出现在霍洛维兹已发行专辑中的曲目，如：舒曼《狂欢节》，作品 9、肖邦《练习曲》，作品25-10、史克里亚宾为左手而写的《前奏曲》，作品9-1。
霍洛维兹去世时被美国里根总统尊以美国国宝之名，可见美国人对于霍洛维兹是多么引以为傲！这些数量庞大的录音除了少数曲目曾被单独挑选出来出版，绝大部分都被原封不动安全地保存超过三十年，直到这套专辑的发行，乐迷才得以回顾其精彩的演奏生涯。专辑完整而真实地呈现霍洛维兹的现场之演出功力以及其艺术之境界，而爱乐者只要以一张音乐会的票价，便能回到过去，享受十数场最高水平的音乐演奏，绝对物超所值！
