My goodness! What a talented player! I love how expressive your playing is, and you obviously understand Chopin. It's awesome, isn't it? I'm also playing this piece, and it's this piece that made me get that Chopin really really wrote for the piano, and wrote for the mechanism of our hands. I would advise that you mind the balance in the thematic sections, just to make sure that there is clear definition between the melody, chords and bass (melody > bass line > chords).
FINALLY! someone who can express Chopin like he was meant to! Your interpretation completely owns Massimiliano Ferrati's version! whereas he plays it too loud and fast and completely destroys it by ploughing through the entire piece, you played it tastefully. it was excellent!! It's good to hear it finally played with some feeling and expression. im really impressed. well done.

Great! This is one of Chopin's most difficult! People don't play it because of the coda. You were amazing!
