I'd appreciate any comments on this, too. Since I haven't finished practising the remaining part, and this recording is for the first three pages... :)

Well, you're off to a great start with this one!  Nice work.  Good tempo, sounds cheerful and happy...  You're really excellent.

Really just some rhythm issues:

Opening 16th notes--quite difficult to discern your rhythm.  You're correct that it's all a wash of sound, but feel the pulses at least internally

When the LH first gets the melody there was just a tad of rushing

When there's all the repeated chords in the LH and the ornaments in the right hand, you change tempos completely--this could well be intentional, which is fine IMO, but just checking to see if you noticed it

The part after that--very nice.  I like the duet between the voices.

Syncopated part--rhythm drags just a bit....(mine did, too, when I played it)

Hope I didn't offend--I really just intend to help.  You have a great technique and you're off to a beautiful start with this!
