這一套包含 69 張CD的專輯，收錄米特羅普洛斯（Dimitri Mitropoulos, 1896 - 1960）在RCA和哥倫比亞唱片兩家唱片公司的完整錄音遺產。他是 20 世紀最傑出的指揮家之一，因其性向，以及排練時於舞台上辭世，被視為樂壇傳奇。他推廣馬勒的音樂遺餘力，1941年指揮明尼亞波利斯交響樂團（Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra）錄製的馬勒第1號交響曲令聲名大噪。
米特羅普洛斯來自希臘，身兼指揮家與作曲家。1896年2月18日生，1960年11月2日逝世。一生猶如苦行僧和神秘主義者，年輕時被修道院生活所吸引，但在得知修道院中將音樂被視為放縱的行為而受到禁止時，決定不再跟隨哥哥們進入希臘東正教教堂。在學習了鋼琴、作曲、理論和指揮之後，先在家鄉雅典發展，然後前往羅馬、布魯塞爾尋求機會。而後在柏林向布索尼（Ferrucio Busoni）求教，並在 1921-24 年間擔任克萊巴（Erich Kleiber）在國家歌劇院的助手，之後他的職業生涯便在雅典起飛。就是在那裡，他發展出不使用指揮棒或樂譜的標誌性指揮風格，並將他所有的宗教熱情以及驚人的記憶力帶入音樂創作。正如評論家 Peter Quantrill 在《留聲機雜誌》中對他的演奏錄音所述：「米特羅普洛斯可以較平常更快的速度提取記憶力，以處理反復出現的旋律和動機，同時保持各部分之間的直覺比例。讓人似乎能在更短的時間內聽到了更多的音樂。」
1930 年柏林愛樂樂團演奏普羅可菲夫第3號鋼琴協奏曲，米特羅普洛斯同時擔任鋼琴獨奏和指揮，而他的國際聲譽也由此開啟 。15 年後他又在費城再度巡迴演出這套曲目，並收錄於在套專輯中。他在美國的職業生涯是由 1936 年與波士頓交響樂團合作的數場頗為轟動音樂會開始，也因此獲得任命接替奧曼地（Eugene Ormandy）擔任明尼亞波利斯交響樂團（現明尼蘇達）的首席指揮。並持續透過記錄其迷人個性和激動人心的音樂錄音，為樂團帶來國際聲譽。在明尼亞波利斯期間，大量演奏馬勒當時仍不為人熟知的許多作品，並獲得評論家和觀眾的一致肯定，因而於1940 年贏得美國馬勒協會榮譽勳章。他也委託美國和歐洲著名作曲家創作了大量作品，使樂團成為美國現代音樂的堡壘。
米特羅普洛斯在 1940 年首次指揮紐約愛樂管弦樂團。他與樂團的合作在藝術表現上非常成功，卻被敵意的批評玷污了，然而這是與他的性向有關，而非音樂詮釋。1949 年起，他與史托科夫斯基（Leopold Stokowski） 一起擔任樂團的聯合指揮，然後從 1951 年起擔任音樂總監，直到 1958 年與伯恩斯坦（Leonard Bernstein）共同領導。一段時間後，他「欣然退位」，轉而支持他的門徒伯恩斯坦，並將更多時間致力於歌劇。不久就因為心臟病發作死在了義大利米蘭史卡拉歌劇院的舞臺上，死前正在排練馬勒的第3號交響曲。
本套專輯是這位最具代表性的傳奇指揮於RCA 和哥倫比亞唱片公司的錄音首度完整發行，錄音都完成於米特羅普洛斯任職明尼亞波利斯交響樂團與紐約愛樂管弦樂團合作期間。其中錄音許多都不曾轉換成數位音檔，或是以數位格式發行過。珍貴的音樂寶藏，值得樂迷拼死以求。
