By the looks of it, most of these commenter's have no idea what they're talking about. These two play the piece at the correct tempo (138), and they follow all the expressions indicated in the sheet music. The sound quality from the camera obviously isn't the best, but this is still a well performed piece.

It was a little too muted to me, too stacatto.

@bonno3214 Yeah, lol. It's funny how he's just sitting there in the beginning just staring off into space.

@citationeeded this is perfectly how it has to be!!!

[Lollemaster]

@colourfulwithaU Yeah, it's true, the tempo do pace up, but anyway, what the hell, are people so trapped in perfection that they can't enjoy a good piece of performance?

Actually, the tempo it's performed at here is closer to 150 (and it gradually speeds up to around 180). So if you're going by what the score says, this is too fast.

If you look at the show more, you will obviously see that it was recorded in 1998. Technology has obviously advanced since then.
