Thanks a million for the wonderfully warm words, guys. I truly appreciate them.
I think the reason that my videos do not receive such a wide response is that unfortunately I don't have much time to spend on the forum and comment on posts. I used to do more of it a few years ago, but now, when I share a video, sometimes I don't get to check if anyone has noticed it for a week or two. My schedule is quite insane, and it's getting more so by the minute.
Incidentally, if you happen to be in London on Sep 6th, I'll be playing a recital at the Mill Hill (Mozart K570, Debussy Preludes Book 1, and Brahms Handel Variations):

It's somewhat unusual programming for a two-part recital: after all, you must start with the Mozart and you can't play anything after the Brahms, so where do you put the intermission? Well, I put it right in the middle of the Preludes. I start with Mozart, play the first 7 preludes, ending the first part with What the west wind has seen. After the intermission I play the last 5 preludes, starting with the Girl with the flaxen hair, and then the Brahms.
Hope to see some of you there...
