One thing I've always found frustrating about accompanying this song on the piano is in the last couple of measures, Strauss extends the the second note of the theme another couple of beats, and on the piano, this extended note always kind of dies away too soon because of the piano's imperfect sustaining of tones. When a solo cello (or violin, as I've heard in Strauss's orchestration - the violin works well too) is playing this line, the problem is solved!
Anyway, nice performance and recording (to the extent I'm able to tell on my "computer system")! (I downloaded the .aif file.)
