Re: Mozart Concerto performance (correct link)

Good job, Eduardo; you and the orchestra had to fight that concert hall's reverberant acoustics all the way. I'd just re-emphasize another poster's observations about dynamics and the late Harold Wright. Too many recordings of the Mozart and other pieces feature soloists who play at a steady mf or f; Wright, on the other hand, could diminish volume but sustain focus and core sound. Mozart's concerto is not a Weber's operatic extravaganza for clarinet, but even Mozart will accommodate subtle dynamic variations. You have a full, rich tone, which gives you a vast palate of tonal color. You can mediate the tone with subtle adjustment of volume to enhance the musicality. Congratulations to you (and to your teachers). Let us know how your future progresses.
