Overall your Bach sounds alright. You have a good sound. Your playing out of tune alot, it does not have resonace. Work on getting it much more seamless, your playing is choppy. It need some phrasing, it is not an etude. Every note should sound beautiful, every note of Bach is important.

Try exercises like only playing the open string of the notes that you are playing. It will help the right hand catch up because right now the bow sounds forced when it should be effortless as can be.
Also (and I’m assuming its a problem) just go between the open strings by shifting the bow as little as possible to get to the next one. That will clear things up greatly.
A lot notes proceed the next on the next string without shifting so practice those hand positions. Once your hand gets locked into the right spot the intonation will come very easily. Those positions have to be sculpted to the point where you can just lay your hand down and do whatever you want in that position.
Overall it sounds good though. Keep up the good work.

I don’t like it, personally.
Too flaws. The question is that there’s no sincronysm beetween right and left hand. The left hand press after string has been played. And much more.
But the main problem, in my opinion, is this one. Fingerings has to be changed or to see them again. I think there are simpler fingerings. Bur, my god, this is a very hard piece.
