This duo deserves tremendous credit for not only being very fine performers, but for creating highly creative videos (and arrangements) that set them apart from the vast majority of piano duos. They are smart to know that the regular repertoire for 2 pianos just does not attract much interest (despite it being great music and no less great to listen to than the solo repertoire). This duo is exactly what is needed to succeed as artists in today's world - you can no longer just be a good performer with little interest in satisfying the audience's taste (which worked for Horowitz, Rubinstein, et al). Today, they are the product, and this duo markets itself brilliantly while also being a very enjoyable one.

[@bronxboy47]

First rate production values on all their videos.

[@TaylorEubanks7]

had the privilege of seeing the two perform tonight... even better in person

[@cunite9263]

Roe and Anderson are incredible pianists who are not just classically trained but can play pop music using their own arrangement in a fusion style of their own!

[@trishpao]

I love the little faces they make as they play, like they're teasing each other. So cute.

[@jeromegenova]

This is just as awesome as Horowitz's Carmen Fantasy, and for two pianos!

[@lensherr82]

Stunning, gorgeous, intense...! There are not enough words to describe how wonderful this is. Greg and Liz, you make music of the highest order!

[@josephhicks694]

This is awesome! I like the trills in Habanera mimicking the voice of the singer. Thank you two for giving such fineness!

[@user-ux4il3pb2u]

we are lucky that we have the opportunity to hear you guys playing!!!!!!

[@sverreeftestl8920]

[@ostimuri]

La calidad interpretativa, aunada a la sincronización y los arreglos, hacen de este dueto algo sublime y magistral. Me encanta escucharlos.

[@Vogler9]

[@pianochannelhm]

Love this piece sooooo much! Great composer and pianist, Anderson!

[@normsantos1274]

I've never really been fond of duo piano works, feeling it a bit redundant, but greg and joy are certainly making me reconsider that conceit. these guys are great!

[@sonoildottorefaustus]

Amazing statistics: so far 10% of the people who have viewed this video favorited it, 25% "liked it", and a whopping 66% shared it on Facebook - I don't think I've seen stats that impressive for hardly any other video on youtube but I'm glad because I can't think of anyone else who deserves more praise than Anderson & Roe!!

[@therightmusic7639]

Sensual, romantic and impeccably performed (a little too loud at times but still musical). Very well coordinated; you're obviously a compatible duo. Very good technique; really virtuosic. Your videos make classical music more attractive and fun and your musical arrangements are interesting, too. Bravo!

MY HEART

[@Skull951]

You are my heros.

[@TheRavenSinger]

Two people are too Bizet to appreciate fabulous musicianship *puntakular* WONDERFUL WORK!

[@LotteStarck]

... surprising inspiration and exiting performance! Thank's very much M/S ***** , I adore the composition of 'Carmen'! As a coincidence, because you couldn't possibly know - 'Carmen' was my second classical investment of records!* Having heard and seen a few performances since, including the film version with Harry Belafonte, I haven't heard this one before! And what's interesting in my 'auditive optic' (strange label, no?) is, that whenever an Asian musician 'wrestle' with Western classical music, it tends to be an invention of new 'classical' sound!*

[@vrub1]

ЖАЛЬ Бизе лишен возможности услышать эту тонкую ивкусно исполненную пьесу!Автору БРАВО!!!

[@AmelieGrass]

I didn't know I missed your videos so much!

Caught you guys in action when you came to singapore earlier this year! Really enjoyed myself (and the star wars affair at the very end, complete with lightsaber-wielding stormtroopers to deliver bouquets of flowers). Looking forward to seeing you two in the region soon! :)

[@AlbertXWang]

Bravo! Maybe you could try revising happy birthday variations and post on youtube on one of your birthday！

[@musicmoves45]

I think that some hacker somewhere has to make a virus so that every person who dislikes this clip will have their laptop/computer blow up in their face. Thanks heaps for the vid. Such creativity and emotion should be the goal of more music nowadays. Keep it coming
