Nice(?) playing? That's one way of putting it. Jia-Yi's version of Flight of the Bumblebee is among the best I've ever heard. He's a virtuoso on chromatic AND diatonic. Perhaps it's the mic on the videorecorder which simply didn't pick up his sound quite so well? Whoever taped this seemed to be at some distance and closer to the piano. I've been lucky enough to see/hear him in person at GSHC and he's truly a spectacular player..even his rehearsals drawing wildly applauding packed audiences.
