Is this guy real ?

Take a look at his age, then check out his repertoire and the time it supposedly took him to learn it. Finally screen his compositions/transcriptions. If this is real - then Marc-Andre has finally found his master !

According to his repertoire list, he's never played a single Chopin or Mozart solo piece, but he's learned seven combined concertos from them?

My guess is he has astonishing sight-reading skills, and even if he's only "read through" a piece he will include it on his repertoire list.

I remember a pianist who came to town who, describing int heir bio how they filled in for another pianist's concerto performance at the last minute, that they had "never played the piece before."  Many people were impressed by the misleading statement, which really meant, "never performed the piece in public before."

If this is real -

The list of concertos is probably a list of scores he has in his collection, many of which he hasn't even opened.

Mastering just the Busoni, Brahms and Bartok concerti in 5 years of playing is an unbelievable feat!

I actually find myself with the opposite reaction.  Even if it's not real (which I have my doubts) just seeing it makes me feel like it's actually possible.   It makes me embrace my own musical desires.

You managed to capture in words what I had in my mind.
