From the perspective of a person who has taught at a major American conservatory for many years, I should say that this guy is doing something admirable by challenging the assumption that most conservatory faculty make that the only music worth playing is "the classics". The classics are great -- ridiculously great, in fact -- but this dude is taking a risk and doing something reasonably well that hasn't really been done much before.

Also, keep in mind, he's an undergraduate, and so if his technique isn't 100% there, it doesn't mean that in five years' time he won't be amazing. For gods sake, when I was an undergraduate, I had nowhere near the technique I got later in graduate school.
