Welcome to pianostreet; I hope you enjoy it here. I think you've given us a very nice and appropriate performance of this beautiful Debussy prelude. It moves a bit more and lingers a bit less than other performances I've heard, but I don't mind this at all and think the pushes prove how elastic these pieces are and the wealth of possibilities in performance.

After hearing both this and the Chopin Nocturne, I think the recording levels come out a bit high, but being a complete novice in areas such as recording, I'm not sure what to do about this.

Thanks -- as with the Chopin, I don't mind to be 'different', even sharply different in my interpretation, as long as it is appropriate musically... Actually, as far as the tempo is concerned, as I noted on YT it is closer to the written tempo than most other usual interpretations...
