hi

i thought there were very nice moments of colour and timbre, like the intro and some others, but many more midi-like and not colourful parts; i'm sorry to say i  turned it off about 3/4's of the way through

it's probably the piano or the recording, or henry levine's arrangement, because you both are very good pianists obviously: perfectly in synch i think;  every phrase seems well prepared and thought out but just not convincing to me; it got monotonous after a while.
it's probably some other factor like i don't know the music very well to begin with, or the recording or piano like i said earlier

i really didn't want to post anything, because it all sounds like a mean insult to your very polished performance.  i bet all the people who hear you two perform live love it though.

best,
Rob
