I will do another recording soon, hopefully better than this one.

Hi! I would love to listen to this, but I'm having problems with that page. First wait a minute before I'm allowed to download, then it says it's going to send me maximum amount of commercial banners, then it takes 5 minutes to download.

Can't you upload the file itself here instead?

Yes, I agree, Megaupload is a big pain. I'd much prefer if you uploaded files as an attachment.

As to the performance, very good indeed. No technical problems that I can see, and you've clearly thought through your interpretation.

For my taste, to bring this music alive, I'd like to see a little more schmaltz. Exaggerate everything, the dynamic contrasts, the rubato. In particular there should be a greater contrast between the different sections.

Make it more sinister and exciting. Really tell a story. I think Liszt needs a heavy dose of romanticism, but maybe that's just me.
