This new recording is SPECTACULAR. I love everything you are doing with it. The only thing unfinished about it seems to be just a couple spots regarding technical familiarity...and that will very soon take care of itself.
Don't let anyone know where you tie your goat.

Wow! Great performance!

I love Bartok and your performance of this horribly hard Étude is great!! I know you have known to capture the essence of Bartok's thoughts (he conceived the piano as a percussion instrument xD)

Thanks!!  ;)

Thanks for the comments guys - it was extremely useful for me to post this work-in-process which certainly is continuing. Most of the things I had difficulties with have gotten better, moving over to the first etude of the set now, perhaps the most difficult one for me  8) especially the final 2 pages or so.

To my ears the only thing lacking was the applause at the end!  Definitely deserved -
