Bravo, bravo, bravissimo!!!! Dear Dave, congrats for such a big feat. I listened to the entire recording and I'd wish to be among that enthusiastic and delighted the audience. You played a monumental work (in every sense) and you did very well.
Please, excuse me my impressions, but I have the sensation that you were growing yourself as the piece advanced and gaining confidence.
I think you did great things, and there are some simply amazing moments.
But there are places that are a bit rushed, above all at the beginning, maybe for the excitement of playing in public, for the first time a mammoth work like this, and that's a pity because with a bit more of control it would be a superb performance.
I look forward to listen a second version of this.
Many congratulations for such a splendid work, David. You deserve it!
BTW: I like your shirt
