Schubert: Impromptu op. 90/1

[pianovirus]

My next home recording project are the wonderful four Impromptus op. 90. Here is the first one. Any kind of feedback welcome!

I enjoy listening to you play.  You have a beautiful sound and very musical phrasing.
There were just a few things that bothered me.  First of all the octave opening.  I don't hear the left hand.  this might be the recording.  And the hold is way too long.  When you get to that beautiful 2nd theme, don't slow down so much.  We should hear basically the same tempo with a little rubato.  I sort of heard this 2 against 3 which stopped the r.h. from flowing like it did in the first part. 
You have a Brendel-like bearing.  I could even see those neck tendons pulsating sometimes!
Bravo.

Thanks Birba for listening, and, as for my last recording, for the encouraging and constructive comments.

On listening again I agree with all the points you raised! (the opening chord, yes by now I also think it's too long...I thought it would be a good "ear-opener" to follow it vanishing into silence, but I suppose ears can be opened with shorter duration as well...  I wanted to have the left hand softer in the opening octaves, otherwise the RH gets overpowered to early, but maybe this was too much as well).
