If pianists played like this today, they would be immediately kicked off the stage or booted from a competition. Total originality, like two gods battling, Schumann's split personalities and Rach's brooding humor and sadness. Listening to this reminds me of why i play.

This piece is very sweet, is very clear and very soft... is so beautifull... without words.

It is said that if Rachmaninoff was to play "Carnavale" in New York NO other pianist would bother to perfrom it that season !! I think that this performance displays why !

@New4785689
"Sphinxes" is more an *idea* than actual piece and was not intended for performing by Schumann.
Rachmaninoff-composer couldn't miss an opportunity to re-create Schumann's abstract "mind game" into real character - grandiose and mysterious.

@truecrypt I wonder whether it reflects a historical performance practice for this piece---ie. it was customary for an improvisation to be inserted.

@wrdna58
I hear more improvisational spirit than improvisation here... Rachmaninoff's performance is very individual(istic?), but everything is played "as written". His implementation of "Sphinxes" is not an improvisation either - rather an attempt to voice and revive "mute" images.
Back to your question about "improvisational inserts" - I think it was pretty typical!
One can only guess how Liszt himself would play it!!! ;)
One caveat though... “Quod licet Jovi non licet bovi"!
