Really i wanted to give constructive criticism because i know the whole set very well, but couldn't. Very well done. You captured the spirit of these pieces.

I also liked the other pieces of your recital. Must have been a great show

Well, you can obviously move your fingers. But why's it all so loud? Track down, and listen carefully to, any recordings of Rachmaninov's music by his friend Benno Moiseiwitsch.

The only recording I saw of Benno Moiseiwitsch is the one on YouTube where it shows him playing an excerpt of the 2nd concerto.  I'll have to look him up.

Thanks!

Got the recording back from the studio, so the mp3's have been replaced with the new ones...  How does it sound to you now?
