Let me know what you think of this performance. I'm a bit annoyed with it but oh well.

It's not perfect yet, But I like it nevertheless. You did a great job in capturing the atmosphere. This has so much 'Chopin' and 'Poland' in it... And you conveyed properly.
Regarding the playing itself, maybe try making it more 'watery' and light and clear. Even if it comes over some other things. But even so, try enjoying some of the rich chords a bit more.
But overall there's definitely no reason to be annoyed :)

Thank you! I'm not pleased with the tempo as I feel it should go faster at places, it drags too much at times. And yes, I agree that some of the chords need more weight and sound. Also some missed notes at important moments!

Obviously there is much to commend here. It is clean, accurate and well articulated. I would suggest, however, that there isn't enough dynamic variety in places and perhaps the tone isn't full-bodied enough (a little dry?) in others. A hint of stress in the playing around 6.20 also. Plenty sparkle about much of the passagework and all in all very creditable
