Hi bach_ko,

Very nice!  I wish the video had not stopped before the end.  With the background noise and the upright piano, it sounded a little murky when you got to the big chords and the bass notes--Judging from your opening passages, I think you very likely played them well and clearly, but the recording didn't do it justice. 

You have a nice feel for Rachmaninoff.  Keep up the great work!
Teresa

very fluid movements and excellent legato.  It's hard to tell exactly, with the quality and noise in the background, but I suspect that the rubato and pedalling is a bit mushy for Rachmaninoff.  This music is quite something all by itself - you dont have to exaggerate anything to make it work best.

just my opinion however..

But I still would have really liked to see the rest of the performance!
