Hello Pablo,
Well, very well done, on your bit of Schubert! It's a very lovely quality indeed. I particularly like your use of your head voice. What I think you could try, is right at the beginning of the song is just using that same head tone as you use on the second phrase. Hmm haven't explained that very well: Well what I mean is, when you start, the voice is a trifle thready and airy (this may not be the case, but it's how it sounds on my computer!)I'm hearing quite alot of air escaping through the cords, and you don't really want that.
If you think of really getting a biting tone: one with lots of squillo (ringing sound), you will find your beautiful tone is a)More so and b) you will find you will sustain the line very much better. I suppose you could think of it like a laser if you will. That first Liebe for me, for example,just feels as though you're gripping slightly, and the consequence of that is that your larnyx will jam up: the sound won't spin. This is is why I suggest you using a heady sound. It'll feel thinner to you, but should give you a lovely buzzy sound. Also I think (and this is purely personal here!) you could use just a wee bit of portamento especially on ending phrases. Lots of people hate it it seems these days, but it's stylistically correct. I'm not suggesting that you swoop around, but that you could just join the tones together like shining jewels!! It wouldn't be offensive with your lovely quality.
That's my observations for the moment. But honestly, I think you've a great deal to be pleased with. Very pretty sound, and interpretation wise isn't as 'lukewarm' as you suggest. Do we get to hear the rest of it sometime: it would be nice.
Take care,
Ian Voice wrecker to the stars!
