This is such a beautiful prelude, and as always, you're great with Rach.
At this point, everything I say is simply personal taste (because you play it perfectly fine). I'd play it a bit slower, enjoy it more... Especially the richer chords. Also, during the climax, don't be afraid to go all out dynamically.
Guess my general advice is bringing out more of the romantic side. This is such a moving piece, use it to your advantage!
But like I said, great job!

This is one of my favourite Rachmaninov pieces. You play it well, but I would be inclined to give everything a little more space and time - a slightly more languid approach, perhaps. I was told Rachmaninov wrote it as a love song for his wife.

Thank you very much for your comment! :) I do agree it can be more "generous" in the romantic style and not"rushed" :D Maybe i play it like that because it is very new.. i just memorised it and recorded it :D

Thank you my friend! :)

Thanks for your comment and suggestions! This is now one of my favorite preludes as well :) And thanks for the info i did not know that Rachmaninoff wrote it as a love song for his wife! :))
