Don't let anyone know where you tie your goat.

I must say that I definitely prefer this recording setting, though your tape recordings had a lot of charme and spontanity, of course! :) But here I can hear much more in detail how good you are, especially at shading dynamics, nuances, how you are able to bild up tension and atmosphere, and how sensitively your musical personality reacts to inputs and inspirations! I get a much better picture of your individual style :)

...that noise in the background...scary within this context... :-\

I like this very much, and something I enjoy in general is your use of registration at the piano and your ability to be articulate in your motifs and runs.  I did watch the videos while listening and I like the idea to set music to picture.  Maybe especially for something different!   

I agree with Wolfi that hearing the people in the background somehow makes it even more scary!

More rightly is it a picture setting music, than music setting picture. I want to thank you both for your very nice comments. I need to refrain from typing more, for on this particular one a book could I write! (I'm a bit influenced at the moment by translations of Greek texts into Greek word order, hence the oddity of style... :))
