Flawlessly played, absolutely no question! But, constructively . . . The registration you *started* with is where you should have *finished* (save the 32' reed, which was exactly right). "mf" at the start, building to "fff" is much more effective. And, just *too fast*. It isn't a toccata. When the majesty is lost, the piece is lost. It shouldn't be played deliberately, of course, but shaving 15 metronome points off that tempo - especially considering the acoustic - would've been perfect.
