Yes David,

Simply to acknowledge the circumstances for that performance in Melbourne...

Upon reflection, I do recall playing in quite a dead or acoustically dry lecture-style hall and with a new, poorly voiced, Bosendorfer piano (a piano notoriously colorless in timbre compared to let's say a Steinway).

In rehearsal, it drove my superb accompanist and I crazy trying to make the best of a less than optimal situation in this regard. We concluded that no amount of exaggeration would remedy the circumstances.

Perhaps the performance conditions likely sapped a good deal of the expression and colour out of a performance of the likes of Debussy! (which is all about color and subtlety of articulation, speed of the varied dynamics, etc).

So additionally, venue, etc, is important in critiqueing a performance.
