I think it's well done! You could take even more care of your legato/phrasing. Sometimes it's really great, and other times you lose it a bit. I would take a look at taking more care of the different harmonies, and vary your color more to suit. There are some special and unusual moments of harmony in this piece, can you find them and show them to the audience? I'm thinking of a thing that comes twice where there are a lot of natural signs happening, as an example, do you know which part I'm talking about?

This is such a beautiful little prelude, and it feels fresh in your hands. Well done! I like the fact that you don't play the whole thing legato but found some nice articulations. But as lelle pointed out, you could work this out even more carefully and consistently.
I like your tempo as well, but would still recommend that you practice it slower for a while, to 1) give yourself time to work out that articulation 2) find more lyrical qualities, and those different colors that lelle was asking for. It does sound just slightly rushed at the moment.
