Exquisite playing.  I would love to hear it live in a hall with normal reverberations.  This recording has a sort of dead sound in certain parts.  And the bass never really sounds out like it should.  But it was beautiful, nonetheless.

Thank you for posting a great piece.  Lot of work and preparation and maturity into this one and it merits an audio performance for all of us and deserves a response.
Any and all can post a "look what i did in two days, am I talented pat me on the head since I'm so good without trying ". Anyone.
Only a few would work hard and reap what they worked hard on. Thank you again.

Thanks so much. I feel very inspired by this music-- transported by it--I just love it as I do much of the music of Debussy. You may like some of my other interpretations of his music on my Sound Cloud site:

So glad this music spoke to you. It's literally why at work on music--that it speaks to me and hopefully to others--make all the difference.
