Hello,
I am not able to listen to the recordings. I open the files but they don’t show anything.

Thanks for sharing. In its best moments, I find this a really touching version.

Still, you need to find a better flow and a more singing tone. I think you should at least experiment with a faster tempo, it's marked 6/8 so it's reasonable to feel two beats in each measure, which is almost impossible at your speed.

I would start by practicing the sixteenth-note accompaniment, left hand only. I know it's meant to be very quiet, but practice in a kind of healthy mezzo-forte, very legato and evenly. Start slightly slower than the tempo you are playing now. When you're comfortable, add some speed, then reduce the sound, and finally add the right hand.

Would love to hear it again when you've worked more on it!

You have achieved a calm and meditative atmosphere in your interpretation.

Even though this is a quiet movement, it is still important to have a supported tone at the piano.  Quiet does not mean inaudible.  First work on sounding all the notes with a full, supported, even and deliberate tone, especially the LH.  Once you are able to do that, then you can work on achieving quieter tones. 

Work on producing a singing and projected RH melody. 

Rhythmic pulse needs to be maintained, specially the longer notes, and at cadences. Your pulse was most consistent in passages with the sixteenths.  For those parts with longer note duration, think of the underlying sixteenth note subdivisions as anchoring your pulse.
