Well done.  I'm surprised nobody else has posted any comments yet.  In general I thought that all your rolled chords were a bit quick and had harsh tone.  I would like to hear more direction in the melodic lines.  A lot of them seem rather static in dynamic to me- it could just be the recording I dunno.   Tempo was pretty good, though I felt in the beginning of the piece I wasn't quite sure where the beats were.  Part of this is caused by all the fermatas Liszt added in this section of the piece, but I still think the rhythms could be a bit more clear here.  It was a pretty solid performance overall, well done!
