This recording is not of the best quality. Never the less, I wanted to share it with you.

Good job! Some good understanding of nuance you have developing.

Personally, I find your rubato to be a bit lugubrious.

I think it should be an emotionally uplifting piece.

Also, I think our bass tends to be a bit overpowered, and our singer tends to be a bit under-powered. More singing with the RH, less thunder in the bass!

Overall, try not to play in a way that is predictable to the listener. Even if we have heard the piece 500 times before (and with this piece, we all have), you should STILL be able to transport us to a new place emotionally. Otherwise there is no point in playing it, right?
