Jenny Hibbens:

I first saw the video clip "Libertango" and was totally transfixed! I watch it over and over - the two of you have a unique raw energy and chemistry that screams out from the screen whilst playing brilliant interpretations of the great Masters. You have even inspired me to go back and practice again on my Bechstein Upright Grand after years of neglect! A fan for life from Australia.

 

Philip:

Tom Valentin :

Hi Liz: Odd though it may seem, I just got a tip about your new new CD/DVD release from Allan Ruter. Though I've followed your progress and career online from time to time, I was just so pleased to be brought back up to date. What an interesting, unexpected, and creative turn your life has taken! Greg is just a wonderful musician, and together, the two of you truly create something wonderful. You have an incredible synergy. Having heard and seen the excerpts, I can't wait to listen to more, which I'm placing on my Amazon wish list. (I can't actually order right now, since we recently moved to Colorado and just returned from a vacation to find six feet of snow covering our driveway and house.) So good to learn about how and where your path has wandered. Hope all is well.

Lucian Lee:

Inspiring! I couldn't stop watching Libertango; it was so fun. Thanks for bringing piano duet to new heights.

 

Marlene Gissendaner:

hi! i am a huge fan of both of you. my music teacher, yukiko ishida (she's a world renowned colorotura opera singer) introduced me to your music. all i can say is WOW... im astounded, and i cannot wait till you guys get back to the east cost. ...

 

Jim:

I would like to hear them play Mozart. I need to hear them play Mozart in order to truly understand how they play. Meanwhile, the overall effect of their playing is dazzling and promotes the duo-piano genre in a wonderful way. There is a risk of sacrificing artistry for flamboyance but I don't see that here. I see a very artistic approach so I think they are quite wonderful.

 

David:

I saw you both on the youtube playing piano ("BLUE DANUBE FANTASY"); it was so good. I like it so much and want to see your concerts! It just makes me want to improve my piano skill when I see your videos...I really really really want to become like you...well...I know it's impossible... anyway, thanks for your playing! IT'S SO GOOOD!!!!

 

Dr. Kaveh Beyk:

Newspaper Reviews

 

The Southampton Press, regarding the Anderson & Roe Piano Duo:

One admired throughout their energy, their precision, and their unalloyed pleasure in making music.

 

...Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers transposed from the dance floor to the keyboard.

 

...fiery and passionate ...in a class by itself.

 

It is often said that young musicians today have razor-sharp technique, but they lack individuality. This cannot be said of these two young performers. The technique is beyond question, but they have personalities, both musical and personal that are completely distinctive and a joy to discover.

 

 

The Southampton Press, regarding Anderson & Roe's Libertango transcription:

"riveting"

 

"extremely imaginative"

 

"They bypassed in part the fact that the piano is a percussive instrument by reaching into its belly and plucking the strings, much as a string player uses pizzicato. The unique combination of playing and plucking, involved a physical intertwining, not only of hands but also of bodies."

 

The Southampton Press, regarding Anderson & Roe's "A New Account of the Blue Danube Waltzes":

a "pièce de résistance"

 

"at once a small satire on and an act of homage to the great Viennese master of the frivolous and the joyous. ... It has an elegance and a romance that is of another time. The seduction paid off..."

 

"Their hand movements and the intertwining of arms, and it seemed at times of fingers, was elaborately and brilliantly choreographed. There were times when their hands seemed magically to occupy the same space, though they were playing different notes. The entire process was a small ballet of the hands, as wonderful to watch as to hear."
