Excellent! the cadenza sounds a little laborious/choppy but not a big issue, I was curious to see if you could pull it off and you did
Hope you'll post the performance with orchestra
The color of the ceiling is not my favorite though...

the arpeggiated figure in the left hand should fade away to pp when the main melody comes in, right now it's overwhelming. Also, you need to phrase the octave melody, make a crescendo from the G followed by the D to the A, and then gradually quieten down to the G. It all sounds too clunky and uneven at the beginning. At 0:44, give yourself room to make a crescendo. I don't know.. it could be your recording quality. Koopakool is right, the cadenza should be fiery and spirited, yours needs to be faster, perhaps you need to make those short note values more crisp. When you start the cascade of arpeggios, for some reason the upper registers becoming inaudible, it needs to be more brilliant. Yeah.. waiting for your recording of rach 3 as well.
