This great concerto is so much harder than it sounds ! But you are doing pretty well. Indeed it's
a bit  monochrome, it would benefit from some better phrasing, staccato, dynamics, and even some very discreet rubato (or just agogics). The couple of slips do not bother so much but
there's a fair number of inaudible notes, you really need to work on a firmer and more even touch.
