Technically excellent, Put. The notes are all correct, but you are missing much of the emotion inherent in these beautiful pieces. Work on your dynamics, my friend. Therein lies the key to an artistic interpretation. I envy your ability, and I am certain that you have the capability to add the missing elements with a bit of work. You can already do the hardest part! Let the pieces speak to you on an emotional level, not just a technical one and you will be a true artist.

Your playing is off to a very promising start - those are both difficult pieces to play. I hope you have the opportunity to work through these pieces with a good teacher who can show you that extra polish that Dennis is alluding to. Have a listen to some of the other youtube performances of the same works - some stand out as being more accomplished than others - and compare them with your own performances.

As an example of what you could try to do next with the Prelude (I confess I've not yet learnt the Chopin - one day!), you need to enter a different world once you get to the Un poco meno mosso (bar 35) - a world of tranquility and calmness. Bring out the main melody here - I hear those four-note chords in the right hand, but the notes that need to stand out are the top notes of those chords, so you need to balance them appropriately. Bring out the counter melody too - it starts at the very end of bar 36, then disappears until the very end of bar 38, then disappears again until the end of bar 41 where it gets fleshed out and needs to be a prominent part of the musical texture. I can hear these notes in your performance because I know to listen for them, but you have to make these notes appear out of the musical texture for the benefit of those who don't know the piece as well. All the other notes are background notes, and need to meld into a wash of musical colour. Finally, bring a bit of rubato into this section to highlight the phrase structure and allow the piece to breathe.

I could go over in a lot more detail, but hopefully that gives you a start.

TX nailed it, technique you got, now play with passion. I would suggest slowing it down, practice in 1/2 time the first part, and work in contrast between the soft and loud.

For whatever reason, it seems typical that many classical only players have good technique but lack musical expressively (Cough "Lola... cough cough)...
