Awesome piece! =D

I find that you have way too much pedal... it really detracts from the crispness that the piece requires.
-
OMG!! are playing on a steinway?!!
-
Wow! Wonderful! Gershwin and Oscar Levant wouldn't have slowed it down in the middle like you did, but they would have loved hearing it! (They were jazz guys after all!) Keep on playing!
-
too much pedal n your tempo is a litle unstable but otherwise good
-
i like it more with a staccato beggining (intro) and make sure that ur speed and pedal don;t interfere with what you want musically. it just sounds like a bunch of notes not a melody
-
great perfomance! im learning this piece. im planing on to play it alot faster (like Zimmerman)
-
yep, these are fun.. the tempo is good, and you do have the fingers for it.. one story, it is told that glen gould's first encounter with a piano was that he was playing notes and listening to the decay... i know you're already working to eliminate most of the pedal from this piece.. so now slow down (for practice purposes) and listen to all the different nuances of decay which you can achieve.. then, bring it back to tempo and voila! BUT YOU KNOW THIS ALREADY!!!!
-
yea, use alot less pedal. tempo is fantastic!
-
This has probably already been said but lay off the pedal just a bit. It's not on on off switch, there are many shades in between up and down. try it sometime.
Otherwise, great performance of a pretty difficult piece.
oh, and clean the run ups up, they sound mmuddled

My piano teacher, is very classical, and she would not allow me to play this piece the way that you have just mentioned. But I agree with you. :P
