It's pretty good! My main reactions on things you can improve are:
* Your tone feels a bit hard when it gets loud. First chord at the start of the piece for example
* Your legato could be even better
* Perhaps a slightly more mobile tempo? But it's pretty fine as it is. Maybe it has more to do with certain hesitations you do. I'd give it a bit of a smoother flow at times.

I agree that the sound gets out of control at times. I recently had the opportunity to play a Steinway Model D and the control over the sound is incredible. I am still working on the piece and with time I may develop the right technique to play it decently. Thank you for your honest opinion :)

This. It is very common, you may think you are putting more emotion into the piece and you are not hesitating, but it sounds like hesitations. Do you have a teacher, and has the teacher commented on this? long lines, sing along to it, when you sing your voice will not make hesitations.
