You play beautifully, and really did that sonata every bit of justice your instrument allows. But if you are going to play on a viola so small that it produces a violin tone, why not go the full way and play on a violin so you can play the high passages as Franck wrote them?
I think even if it's small the timbre contrast merits a visit. E.g. The nasal strain of the upper register gives the piece a different angle (probably highlighted even more live). Also the single CZcams video takes away the context of the recital, where again this could make a lot of sense depending on the programming choices.
I love to see and hear someone shred on the viola and really make it sing. Great performance.

I often wish I had a bigger viola with a deeper sound! But the one I’m playing on in this recording is loaned to me and is beautiful in many ways.
Fair. It is, again, really beautiful playing.

@@jonathanvinocour2587 Didn't they see how tall you are? 17" easy-peasy.
I did play on a beautiful 17” Carletti viola for a long time before getting this Storioni. I do miss it sometimes.
