It doesn't make sense to me.  You play it as if you're trying to shoot a machine gun -- always loud and always the same speed.  I've performed this before and I STILL had trouble following you. 

First of all, the chords in the beginning need to be more subtle and allow them to build in intensity more than you're doing.

After first several measures, when the piece really begins, the low bass note is MOST important, and it's getting lost in this recording.

Finally, give more thought to where the music is going.  It is not nearly as loud or as hectic as you're playing it.  In fact, in this first section, I normally run the entire gamut from P to FF.

Just a few thoughts. :)
