Thanks for posting!  Not one of my favorite Schubert-Liszt, but it was very well played.  What's difficult here is separating the voice from the loom, if you know what I mean.  Tempo AND tone wise.

Thank you very much for your kind words birba. It was really stressful to play this piece at the concert, since it is much more difficult than what is written on the score.

I can't tell what you're doing right before the early a minor section. The melodic 16ths, to manage the notes, are you putting any of the running 16ths in the left hand? I don't think it's possible to play them with just the right hand and your left hand doesn't appear to move.

Same with the a minor part, those bass notes don't sound arpeggiated, but they need to be, it's the downbeat 16th that you're removing?

I'm preparing this for an occasion 2 weeks from now, i'm finding it has unexpected challenges.
