??? Is it real? It is unbelievable that these top notched pianists agreed to gather together to play this piece.... Apparently it was from 2018 Verbier Music Festival. Incredible to the point that I wonder whether it is a work of Photoshop or something like that?

It being low brow or perceived as such doesn't have a bearing on how hard this might be to play. Anyway, Rossini is neither high brow nor low brow nor intermediate brow: it's just universally appreciated music. As to the skills necessary to pull this performance off -- it's probably relatively easy for these musicians, because there's nothing in this performance that they don't do every day thousands of times: It consists almost entirely of e major chords, b-7 chords, C# minor chords and a few others played extremely fast by shaking the wrists, lower arms, hands, upper arms and shoulders with fingers in a few thoroughly ingrained configurations, and probably not more than 2 or three scales (mostly e-major). Since they all play a lot of Bach very regularly, the contrapuntal aspects will already be completely at their fingertips, even with the specificity of e-major itself. In other words, with their level of experience in piano performance generally, but this specific piece's particular building blocks singularly, this would be just a bit of casual fun entertainment for them, almost entirely non-taxing.
