Well, I finally picked up the recording from my lecture-recital, and I am quite pleased. Ok, so I may not have listened to more than a few seconds of the lecture portion (enough to realize that my voice sounds weird), but the recital portion came out really well. I'd have to say that aside from a few slips, the Duckworth sounded just as I wanted it to, which is simply an extraordinary feeling. The Borden sounds quite good as well, though there are a couple of places that I think could be polished further, but I doubt many would hear those spots. :)
Here then, are the mp3's of the recital. I'd strongly recommend that you listen to the recital on headphones or with good speakers, especially to hear the cool effects of the Duckworth.

As a side note, Carrie told me that the baby didn't kick in the least when I was playing through the recording. When I put on one of our favorite Christmas songs, "Baby, It's Cold Outside," afterwards, the baby went nuts. I think there's still time to get the baby to appreciate this music, though.
