I'm not normally a fan of 'wunderkind' but the technical skill and musicality displayed by this little boy just blew me away. Who is he?

Exactly, his musical talent isn't just pure technical skill unlike some "star" pianists out there (*cough* Lang Lang *cough*), but some awe-inspiring sense of lyricism is also evident in his playing.

I don't know who exactly he is, but he's a Chinese piano student studying in some famous conservatory.

Truly amazing. The kid's name is Kit Armstrong.

He is no semi-autistic one trick pony, but talented in many ways, which you can hear in his playing.

Another Clara Wieck, perhaps?
