The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

I think he is amazing, especially his technique.... But what else do you expect of an ex Juilliard student.

very impressive, I think he's well suited to rock. Seeing him come out to do a classical piano recital would be a bit disconcerting though. Maybe this look might appeal to teenage punk rock culture though. Always nice to attract them to the classical music sphere (though rarely happens.)
