Hi guys, thank you everyone that gave me your advices.
I recorded two new videos, Brahms1 and Brahms2. I would like to know if you can listen both and say what's the better.
Brahms1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq-Nt631Upk
Brahms2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUqWVBNrq6w
I think you dont know this piece, but this is a brazilian piece I will play in the competition too.
Lúdica (Ronaldo Miranda): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAgY07llVXY
Lúdica1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWo3adjuHg0
So what are the best options to send?

I really liked the Miranda (you're right.......never heard it before).
Of the two takes of each posted here, I preferred the first ones. The bad news is that I MUCH preferred the original posted video on so many levels.
Technically (recording wise that is) it is much easier to listen to it. You hear the instruments and not the room. Both voices (piano and clarinet) are equal as they should be. And one more biggy: the microphone doesn't distort !!!
As for your playing, you are more relaxed in the first one of the two above, but you are WAY more relaxed in the original recording. It lent a more sublime quality to it. I don't want to get you crazy re-re-re-re recording (usually counterproductive anyway) so I'd kinda just go with the original version of the Brahms and the 1st of the Mirandas (if they need one contemporary and one classical that is).

Eduardo, I prefer the first. The movement has much life and your dynamics have improved. I would continue to work on smooth connections between notes; yours are generally good, but you falter in wide legato leaps. Of course, the work entailed will be life long! You still seem to show some intimidation by the metronome. I'd also work on the very end of the movement; it seems to collapse. So, work on more control and tonal focus. Eduardo, you play very well...and the Mirandas are great. best wishes
