Hated it.
Sloppy playing. Every competitor in a major piano competition has more piano skills.
The arrangement was not very innovative. No really new ideas. He barely changed anything except adding drums and chords.
If you want to make an arrangement of a famous classical piece, you really have to reinvent it, in my opinion.
Here's an example of an arrangement that succeeds in my opinion.
