Nice job! I would think a bit more about the tempo changes or rubato you use. Right now the tempo changes feel a bit too jerky. Carefully think through your choices and check that they all feel and sound organic when you listen. Right now the tempo changes feel a bit like you are not fully in control over the tempo. If the listener gets startled, it's a bit too much.

Thank you very much! I think you're totally right in what you write.
Arrivederci!

Well done! I think your playing is very imaginative. Lelle may have a point about the rubato, but please don't lose your expressive approach while trying to correct it.

How are you recording this? Your playing deserves better sound. I get the feeling you are playing on a fairly decent piano, and that it should be possible to get a better-recorded piano sound with just a bit of experimenting or possibly slightly better equipment.

If I was a betting man, I'd say it's a digital piano. Something tells me it's digital...

Thank you very much! Yes, the sound is not so good, it was with a digital piano but something went wrong with the vst preset. I was concentrated on a new triple pedal I just received, and so I missed that point in the setup. Thanks again, arrivederci!

You're right! It's a digital piano with Pianoteq. My acoustic piano was (still is) out of tune, and I wanted to experiment with a triple pedal.
Greetings!

Well played. 

Your phrasing style at times likes to have a lot of acceleration.  I don't think it is objectionable, just different. 
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
