It seems like you gave a commendable performance.... but I must confess I couldn't hear much through my laptop speakers. Is there any way you could boost the audio levels?

I guess it would be difficult to hear the music through the laptop speakers... I don't really know how to make the recording louder, I try not to mess with the originals.  I like to just upload the original recording without anything added or taken out. 

Maybe somebody can lend you some headphones?  I'm sorry you're having a hard time hearing the performance.

It just seemed rather quiet, even when I turned my external speakers up all the way!

It's audible... but overall the orchestra is loud, and the piano rather quiet. I think this is a natural consequence of recording piano and orchestra live. Professional concerto probably have several microphones very near to the piano in order to make it come out above the orchestra.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed your performance. Thanks!
