It's sort of difficult to judge. The sound is horrendous. And I have a feeling the mike augments the pianos and diminishes the fortes. It's VERY monotone (not monotonous) The intentions seem good - the very end of the coda needs more work - Maybe a bit more rubato in the slow section. Oh, and the two chords in the beginning, STRICTLY in time. There are no fermatas there. MAYBE a hair faster.
Anyway, I don't think you can judge your playing by that video-
