I'm not familiar with these pieces because I'm a classical music boor, but you sure can play! I hope you put up some Chopin, which I'd be more likely to know. Please?

You need to start making a YouTube name. You could rival Lola in terms of looks and Lisitsa in terms of playing. Double win for you. You might be in trouble here, George. Just sayin'.

Pogo: In addition to all else, you have such a wonderful way with rhythm and tone. The rhythm thing is so remarkable -- so flexible and tasteful. Like, the way you often stretch melody notes, lovingly lingering, and without losing the basic pulse, and sounding so natural, never artificial or forced. It's musical sorcery at its best. I feel it to this extent in very few pianists, and you've got it.

I'm glad Angelina is... well... Angelina. I'm so confused!?? What trouble?? Thanks all for such nice responses. I wish I played with more exaggerated contrast... A lot of things we think we're doing and they don't come through... But some things worked I guess!

Just listening to 118/2.
My type of interpretation! Very nice.
Not rushed. Each important phrase sung. Notes lingered. Anticipation of the next note.
I am so glad that I tuned in.
I felt the passion of Brahms.

Love the Rachmaninoff (will listen to the others later) -- thanks for sharing! You have a beautiful phrasing and I enjoyed your interpretation.

This is extraordinary playing! The Brahms is so beautiful - I love the way you shape your phrases. Lovely attention to inner voices and excellent voicing.
I'm so happy to see someone playing Brahms instead of Chopin... I'm so sick of hearing Chopin.

I'm so sick of hearing Chopin. I love him, but I have to admit I feel the same.

It's sad that some of you are sick of him, but he does get a very disproportionate share of the posts here. As far as I'm concerned, that's not a problem though It may be a lack of musical maturity (it probably is), but I would trade a lot of other music (I don't want to mention names) for another ballade by Chopin. BLASPHEMY, right?

As long as it's played well, I almost don't mind which composer performers play. I would have no problem going to an all-Chopin recital, although I would get kind of annoyed if it included lots of etudes. 2nd sonata? 3rd sonata? 4 Ballades? Those are undeniable masterpieces (yes, I really like the 3rd Ballade and think it's fantastic), and my favorite of all of those is the 2nd sonata.

I really like Op.10-3 too, but my favorite Ballade is Op.10-4. Also, I'm kind of partial to the 3rd sonata (op. 5), but there's some good stuff in the second one. (Damon uses his own opus numbering.)  I'm pretty sure those are correct. (as long as we're talking about Brahms)
