Wow, fantastic! Not much to say here, except maybe im lacking a little...grandioso-like feeling. The middle section is absolutely superb, overall one of the finest recordings ive ever heard. The way you are contrasting between sections is amazing.

Well done!!

In the Rachmaninov sense, I think you definitely got the point of the piece -  your wonderfully natural phrasing in the middle section is something rarely heard. I think you are an extremely brave player for playing the outer sections so fast (which I agree with on an interpretational level since they are so repetitive), but as a consequence it seems to result in inaccuracy and worse, occasionally flimsy/uneven tone. Since you're so damn good, I reckon you'll play this better as time progresses, but still, your performance is a big accomplishment for most pianists.

Btw, you got accepted to Stanford, didn't you?

it sounded a bit weak, and I didn't like when you sort of exaggeratly slowed in some parts, like the end of the cadenza in the beginning, and other spots ( or should i say passage, but that would sound too not good)

otherwise it was bravoish

Thanks for the comments. I will indeed be going to Stanford. it is sloppy at spots, but live recital recs tend to be pretty messy for a lot of pianists heh.

is there any video of your perfomance. If so, I'd love to see it. I bet it would be even more
