第一號交響曲是拉赫曼尼諾夫青年時期最有「能量」的作品，充滿風暴般強烈的熱情。他在總譜上方題著聖經裡的一句話「伸冤在我，我必報應」。拉赫曼尼諾夫自己則寫道：「第一號交響曲演出前，我對交響曲一直有誇張而且不切實際的看法。第一次聽到它演出後，我的想法立刻完全改觀。只有此刻，我才真正看清究竟什麼才是交響曲。交響曲裡精細的主題、和諧與自發的情感都是它值得讚許的地方。

第二號交響曲是拉赫曼尼諾夫1907年的作品，這是一首傳承並發揚晚期浪漫派風格的作品，也是拉赫曼尼諾夫最受後人喜愛的交響曲。同年年底，拉赫曼尼諾夫還因為這部作品得到葛令卡獎。自傳般的第三號交響曲有如拉赫曼尼諾夫對青年時期的浪漫回憶，《交響舞曲》則是他最後一部作品。《交響舞曲》不但延續第三號交響曲的浪漫，還有人生的陰鬱與悲喜。
