Very pretty, good work.

If there is something to comment on, it is for more flow with the trills that have terminations.  It seems that there is a minute amount of time added to those trills with termination and slightly breaks the rhythmic flow.  It is not a big issue but something that would add more polish to your performance. 

The amount of time taken for the terminating notes should be subtracted from the main note of the trill.  I know this is difficult because the fingers have to squish so many notes in a short amount of time.  Usually reducing the trill by some, maybe as little as one repercussion could leave enough time to execute the termination in rhythm.  Experimenting with the speed of the terminations may also help.

You could also think of the terminations as pickups to the next main note, rather than as part of the trill note.  Phrasing them as if the terminations were moving to the next note helps smoothen out the line and would help the pacing of the trill to be more organic.
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach
