Have you ADMIRED us in WIRED?! ;-) Steinway Pianos has introduced a new player piano, the Spirio Piano, and it has caught the attention of some notable press. You can read the Wired article here or watch a commericial (featuring yours, truly!) for this deluxe and beguiling instrument.
All-Bach Album Release!
We're thrilled to announce the upcoming release of our latest album (and our 4th album together as a duo!), The Art of Bach, on the Steinway Label.
From the press release:
“The most dynamic duo of this generation” (San Francisco Classical Review) offers a unique optic into the infinite genius of Bach on their newest album from the Steinway & Sons label aptly titled The Art of Bach. Spinning out from Bach’s only original works for two harpsichords — the Concerto in C Major and a revised version of the Contrapunctus XIII from The Art of the Fugue appendix, performed here on pianos — the album traverses his secular, scholarly and sacred works offering a vibrant portrait of Bach, who was, among other things, a master of counterpoint, a mathematical trickster and a transcendent spirit with a seemingly direct line to the heavens.
The album drops on January 13th, but you can pre-order your copy on ArkivMusic, Amazon, or iTunes. ArkivMusic is also offering an amazing deal: An Amadeus Affair & The Art of Bach together at a reduced price.
We're also throwing an intimate release concert in the very city the album was recorded (and in the very city we met, for that matter): Manhattan! Please save the date and join us at SubCulture, Greenwich Village's "music & arts oasis," on February 10th.

Just hear those Steinways plinking

Take a sleigh ride with Greg Anderson
& Elizabeth Roe!
Okay ... we're musicians, not lyricists. We do love "Sleigh Ride," though, and we wanted to take you on a spin for the holidays with our latest video, featuring eight (gulp) Steinway concert grands! Perhaps we'll be dancing in your head instead of sugarplums on Christmas Eve?? As you'll see, at one point we decided to, ahem, divide ourselves to conquer six of the pianos at once... ;)
Piano Party for Two

"Vocalise" in Seoul, Korea
Last June, Korea's MBC Television broadcast our concert at the LG Arts Center in Seoul. Here's our performance of Rachmaninoff's "Vocalise" (in our arrangement for piano, four-hands) from the event. It's one of our very favorite pieces; we hope you'll see why below!
