I'm playing this piece with my partner at the moment. I actually prefer it without the excessive tempo changes everywhere stipulated by Rachmaninoff. A lot of his earlier works just seem to click a little earlier if you take the outrageous dynamic and tempo directions (ppp, fff -> sfz -> sffz) with a pinch of salt.
Just one thing: you didnt make almost any "ritardando", "crecendo" or rubatto, I heard it very like "straight ahead to the end". Some parts required to be more expressive (I say this as a constructive comment, to help to improve something that is already good).
