Thanks a lot, a whole lot for the "devil's staircase" video. I am so glad to read your ideas about classical music. At 45, I am among the youngest in the hall when I go and see The Montreal Symphony Orchestra with Kent Nagano, and that's just too bad! There is just so much to live and feel though classical music. Everyone would be able to find something he or she likes if he or she would just take the time to listen. I love classical music because what one given piece makes me think about is different from what another person will think, listening to the same piece. But I think these days some people need to be told what to think when listening to classical music, as you have done in the Devil's Staircase video. Congratulations! When are you coming to Montreal?

Newspaper Reviews
South Florida Sun-Sentinel:
Greg Anderson's "Fantasia on Dives and Lazarus," a set of variations on an English folk tune, was grandly rhapsodic yet crafted with intellectual integrity. The Browns aced the bracing counterpoint with clarity and breezy showmanship.
La Nueva Espana:
Greg Anderson brought the audience to it's feet with shouts of "bravo, bravo!" He left this reviewer at loss for words.
The Washington Post:
Perfect!
The Southampton Press, regarding Greg's Libertango transcription:
Riveting ...extremely imaginative!
The Southampton Press, regarding Greg'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.
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.
