I agree David, anyone is entitled to work out a composition as they see fit.
However; in doing so they must also be willing to take the heat and
ridicule, if a majority of listeners think they have perverted the
composition, as well as the praise, from those who think what they did was
genius. As for me, I am a bit of a purist. As to this performance; I seem
to be able to download only the first 23 seconds of it so I cannot form too
much of a critique.

Oh, I don't know. Let the fur fly!
I think it gets interesting when we start talking about how to play
the music. Some people like to take every note of a piece as part of
a work of genius, and work from there to hopefully find the voice of
the composer. Others like to mess around with the music, and work
from there in an attempt to find their own voice. Either approach is
valid. I'm going to stay tuned and see if any other points of view
arise.
