Overall a nice sound. It's a scary piece. The upper register is brighter than your lower register. Probably a horn, barrel and or a mouthpiece issue.
When playing the long notes perhaps do something with them. You are kind of playing them at the same volume. Feel the woods, The Pine trees. Rome. This is why I think the long notes should move a shade.
An update - After reading some of the comments about intonation, I turned on my tuner, which I haven't done in many years. Actually, I had to find some batteries first! The tuner did not show any serious issues. Most of the time all of the notes were dead on. Your low E was a shade under 440, nothing to worry about, maybe 5 cents. When you blew hard a few notes went sharp as a whole pattern, not just one note. So again, your horn played in tune pretty much all of the time. I wouldn't worry about the intonation.
For 18 years old, nice job.
