what happened to the sound at 0:25 (and other places)?

[@JuanMarcello]

Dear Ionita, your technique is fantastic, but please, make Art, music of soul! This movemente, in the middle, has a supreme melody, with blood, tears and love. Don't play fast, demonstration your facility and technique. Play like Rostropovich (or in his spirit): with deep emotion! Each note, each phrase conducting for the fire in the soul. Brahms give his life for us. We can give a little more for Brahms.
God bless your life and career Ionita!

Where are your ears? In your feet? Of course he's playing with deep emotion!

[@JuanMarcello]

samdajellybeenie , he plays with deep emotion for you. My ears are in my feet, yes, but you don't have ears. Why?? Because I wrote so much words for explain with details. I wrote with my heart, no envy or jealous, and I wish for great success to Ionita. And you wrote little and with the aggressiveness of an animal. Listen Rostropovich, Jacqueline du Pré, the greats. And avoid unnecessary aggression. This is Art, not fight.
