Hope you enjoy my performance.

I am always so happy to hear performances of this magical nocturne

my opinion - I feel like it could have used more pedal, but I understand that the acoustics in this recording were not particularly favorable - this would sound much better to the audience in the hall.

The tempi and timings are just SPOT ON. You have a wonderful singing tone in the right hand, I wish you could add some expressive bass notes more at times - just a personal opinion.

My favorite part of the nocturne is at 1:50....

Thank you for the nice comments.

Here is  a second take with more rubato  and dynamics.

Criticism and comments welcome.

Some very nice delicate playing here. I see that you've used Rode NT5s: I've used these for several recordings and think they are good but they can be a little bit brittle in the treble, which I think I hear to some extent here. Anyway you show evident sympathy for the music and this is a fine performance.
