I think it sounds pretty good. It sounds like you have an ear for phrasing. Some details are a bit hard to judge due to the recording quality. I think you could have a slightly more elastic tempo at times, and a bit more variation in the dynamics too, just to get a bit variation in there and breathe some life into it, as there is a lot of material that is repeated many times by Chopin. You could also play the left hand chords a bit softer.

I agree with most of anacrusis' comments; it's a bit hard to discern the details since the audio quality isn't great but it still sounds pretty good. The biggest thing I would work on would be the character - I feel like it needs some more personality, which you could add through more rubato and dynamic contrasts. Some of the phrases felt a little stagnant, and considering how many times we hear that main theme throughout the whole waltz, putting more effort into making each phrase interesting and unique would really elevate your playing.

A fluent presentation of the piece. You kept going even though a few notes did not sound, which is a good thing.
What you can work on is phrase shaping and direction. Identify where breaths take place in the music. Also identify where the important parts of the phrases occur and shape accordingly.

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
