I love this recording, it's subtle and not overrubatoed as many other ones I've seen.

It should definitely tell more of a story - right now there is no dynamic contrast in the opening sections. I like the consistent quietness, but I think it needs to open up just a bit more there.

The slow chords section should be slower. It should be almost chorale-like, and where you're playing it right now is somewhere I can't qualify.

Just my 2 cents. Sorry for the late reply, and again, amazing recording.
