...hmmm...I played the second one years ago, but still...

It's expressive throughout, but I personally find your tempi too agitated, especially in the middle section. It's perhaps the recording quality, but I do like those bell-like notes at the top registers to be definite and distant at the same time. I should like them to sparkle but I prefer them played softly.

...or maybe I'm just being picky here.
