I guess you could say he plays like his age.  Talented, yes.  But there are lots of kids out there who can outshine him.  First of all, it sounded like Prokofiev or Bartok.  In other words, only a percussive touch.  The little recitativo at the end tells it all.

It's maybe because I like Bartok and I mix the two styles whithout feeling that.

Technically proficient, but hard-driven and rather insentitively played, intent on displaying virtuosity first and foremost. Not what Debussy is about (nor is Bartok, for that matter).
