Call me nuts, but the second movement reminds me of Disney's Haunted Mansion with the ghosts twirling around in a big ballroom, like just after the 18:00 mark. That attraction came about in 1969, two dozen years after Rachmaninoff wrote this suite.
I love the opener, the powerful sound of the tam-tam with orchestra, especially flutes and clarinet; brilliant opening by Rachmaninoff. The whole work is brilliant!
Thanks for pointing this out! That piano part is actually an amendment that the composer made in a copy of the score in the Library of Congress. However, it isn't certain that the composer regarded it as a definitive amendment, which is likely why it isn't present in the official score.
@@BooseyHawkes ah thanks for answering! I remember hearing that chromatic scale in a performance from the Radio Filharmonisch Orkest years ago, and wondering where it came from. Glad to finally know the answer!

The chorale in the 1st mvmt quoting his 1st symphony - 9:49

20:11 hits hard and I lose my mind at 20:30.
There's a chromatic-ish scale in the piano at 2:04 that's not in the score. Is that a revision?
Can anyone tell me what's going on with 2:04 - 2:11? I seem to hear a scale in the piano(?) that is not in the score
