Rachmaninoff made some recordings on piano rolls, which allows them to be replayed in a modern studio with modern equipment. Check out this Window in Time recording to hear what he might sound like with a modern recording.

So check this out: Rachmaninoff was a big fan of an early type of player piano type rig, and made a handful of "proto-midis" himself, playing a special piano that recorded his every nuance to a paper reel.
The reels were recently recovered and digitized, then made available as CD. I give you Rachmaninoff - A Window In Time (LGT amazon page, but it's also available elsewhere...)
Prelude in C# Minor is my personal fave.
