Wonderful, Chris! Really authoritative performances. You seem to have caught the spirit of the style perfectly. I love to see people allowing their own personality come through in their playing, and yours does by the bucket load in these pieces, from the hat to the Picasso-inspired right hand ;-) and the (forgive me saying) slight arrogance that performance of this music requires. I mean that wholly positively. I think these pieces suit you to a tee, and should find their way onto disc in the not too distant future.
