Though it's rough around the edges, as other people have said, there is such potential in it, and the potential shines through in that performance. I like the warmth and spirit in your playing and your sound - there's humour and playfulness which I miss in slick professional recitals as well as in most amateur performances. Please persevere!!!
A lot can also be achieved by simply playing slowly enough to really listen to each note.
like other people have said, watch your tounging. practice with pure air first. make a "huh" sound coming form your stomach instead of tounging the note. then you can add the tounge.
you should alos practice with a metronome and keep everything in one tempo. dont speed or slow down.
work on vibrato. you should check out Nina Perlove's videos on youtube. search her. She's a great help.
also, practice slow and get all the notes out nice and clear before you start speeding it up.
great job! I actually used these preludes as part of my audition for college, so I feel ya on how hard Muczynski makes some of this stuff. I'm a sucker for anything by him though, it requires some awesome technique. Check out "Moments" for flute and piano. There's some wicked stuff in there... good luck!! :)
Watch that tongue! keep it light. Practice playing without tonguing at all. This way you become comfortable bringing the note out with air instead of tongue.
Slow down the technical sections and make sure you get them clean at every tempo in between your goal tempo and starting tempo.

In the more lyrical sections you should manipulate the depth of your vibrato to move along the notes. Remember to always incorporate a good amount dynamic contrast.
it's getting there..

some of your notes are more tongue than note.. if that makes sense :P
try not to let your pitch drop at the end of phrases, or let your vibrato speed up!
