As a classically trained musician myself, it even took me a while to realize what I'm going to say: We tend to think of classical music as traditional and old. When Beethoven was writing this, though, it wasn't old, and it wasn't traditional. When classical composers were writing their music, it was contemporary. Yes, the stuff that's survived was certainly more intellectual than Justin Bieber, but it was still contemporary. They were experimenting with new chords, harmonies, and sounds. Haydn's "Symphony No. 94 - 'Surprise'" was specifically written to scare the crap out of listeners. Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture"used actual cannons as part of the percussive sounds. So, no. This isn't sacrilegious at all. If Beethoven were alive today, and heard this, I think he'd think it was pretty cool.

I'm so honoured that my backing track even made it into your Concert! That's a very Transcendent performance, I'm very happy for you!

I think the masters would approve wholeheartedly - because they built their music on breaking the rules of their day, and everything they did can be repurposed for new audiences over and over. Totally stunning.

I am one of the most avid classical music fans you may find, but my love of music is a broad church so I love this. It keeps the music alive for those in new generations who may never have heard or wanted to listen to it, and as others have commented, the greatest composers of all time have always caused outrage by going against tradition and as one who loves both tradition and ripping up the rule book, this epic performance is (foot-tappingly) fantastic.

As someone who trained classically for years, this is absolutely beautiful in every way. Music doesn’t have to be played exactly as written, it’s meant to be played with your soul, and that’s exactly what this is.

*cries tears of joy * we have finally reached the stage when young people are old enough to officially play dubstep version of classic pieces in big old concert halls

The masters would have their breath taken away to hear their works being played in such a magnificent manner. Wow. What a performance!

I honestly cannot remember the last time a musical performance not only took me by such surprise (while sounding soulful and technically challenging) but also sent chills down my entire body, not once, but twice. Immediate like, share, and subscribe from me. BRAVO

5:44 thank you to the guy who stood up. That would have been me if I was there. You totally and completely deserved a standing ovation.

I LOVE when musical styles collide. Its music. Its meant to move you. Just because its traditionally played one way does not mean it must always be played that way. This was soo good. Im 52 and I freakin loved it.

As a classically trained musician I am blown away by the complexity of the transitioning between the sections as it was so seamless. I am very used to playing “classical music”, including even the moonlight sonata, but this takes some of the best music in the world and makes it better. I think that people often don’t appreciate classical music as much anymore but this is clearly enjoyable for anyone no matter their musical tastes. An amazing rendition of an amazing piece!

Sacreligious...spectacular... Haunting. Truthfully, I shed a tear. This is a beautiful example that music is not just THIS or THAT. Music is whatever moves you. Which you proved tonight. I was moved by the joining of two very polar opposites into one amazing masterpiece.

After 200 years people around the world are still talking about Beethoven and how to interpret his music. His genius will never die.

I guess you guys aren't ready for that, yet. But your kids are gonna love it.

I have no words to say, you said all that needed to be said with your fingertips! You brought me to tears with you're song, that doesn't happen often! Bravo Bravo Bravo!

One of my favourite classical pieces of all time and he just put a fantastic new twist on it. Bravo SIr.

As a musician and pianist I have mad respect for this level of talent. To say nothing of the absolute bravery to just break that sort of thing out in the Kennedy center.

I disagree, I think Beethoven and Chopin would both appreciate that. Many electronic artists today are essentially composers, but instead of being limited to the instruments of the symphony, the potential for sound samplings and new sound creation is limitless. Imagine what Beethoven or Mozart could have done with Ableton software and access to sound engineers...

I was expecting to see and hear a loud, long standing ovation! I was captivated and immersed in this young man’s brilliant presentation! It was as if I dove into a pool of that music, no water, just his piano.
