| | Anderson & Roe Piano Duet play "BLUE DANUBE FANTASY" - 599 sec
http://www.andersonroe.net | "A New Account of the Blue Danube Waltzes," composed and performed by the Anderson & Roe Piano Duo
Camera work: Estelle Choi, Yalin Chi, Greg Anderson, Elizabeth Roe
Read "Making the Video, the Anderson & Roe Way" on our blog (http://www.andersonroe.net/blog.html ), and watch the outtakes in the video response section below!
In composing this work, we sought to emphasize the emotions that hide beneath the surface of the typically restrained Viennese Waltz. Note: the narrative is not a representation of reality. Yes, we're really playing the piano, but no, we didn't actually meet over a lost mitten, and no, we're not actually romantic lovers. :-)
Be sure to watch for:
* The choreography of our hands. We wanted to show the similarity between four hands playing together on a piano and four feet on a dance floor.
Be sure to listen for:
* The musical combining of themes. At times, melodies are layered atop one another, most notably at the climax. Believe it or not, seven melodies from throughout the piece are being played simultaneously (7:49 - 8:10), a real compositional feat!
Both the piece and the video are featured on the Anderson & Roe Piano Duo's debut album, "Reimagine." Greg Anderson & Elizabeth Joy Roe showcase their unique approach to classical music and the piano duo genre in this adrenalized album, featuring breathtaking music, a hard-core performance of Stravinsky's 'Rite of Spring,' and a bonus DVD of music videos.

| | J Strauss II--"Blue Danube" Waltz--Erich Kleiber (1932) - 587 sec
Stauss first performed this piece with a text set to a four-part chorus. It met with limited success. It was an immediate hit at the Paris Exhibition later in 1867 when he performed it in the familar instrumental version.
Performed here by the Orch of the Berlin Opera, conducted by Erich Kleiber.
In 1919, H.L.Menken wrote:
The waltz never quite goes out of fashion;
it is always just around the corner;
every now and then it returns with a bang . . .
It is sneaking, insidious, disarming, lovely. . . .
The waltz, in fact, is magnificently improper..
the art of tone turned lubricious. . .
Kleiber (August 5, 1890 in Vienna--January 27, 1956) was a bit less-known and less appreciated than his more celebrated contemporaries like Walter, Toscanini, Furtwängler and such. He was a perfectionist who studied scores relentlessly, and didn't enjoy the recording process. He shared these traits with his son Carlos, another celebrated conductor.
Kleiber became music director of the Berlin Opera in 1923, and resigned in protest to the Nazis after they denounced Webern's opera "Lulu". Kleiber was offered his old post back after the war, but it was in Russian hands and Kleiber didn't think the communists were much of an improvement over the Nazis. He never took another permanent post. He became an Argentinian citizen in 1938.
He gets this Berlin orchestra playing like a Viennese one for Blue Danube. In particular is his very idiomatic use of the Luftpause or "breath-pause" (not take, but pause for breath) a fermata, a bit of silence to give the listener a kind of release before a faster tempo is taken. You can sometimes detect a tiny Luftpause before the third beat in the waltz time too. Very hard for anyone not born and reared in Vienna those days to employ the Luftpause with this much elegance and authenticity...
And, yes, few top orchestras of the day had women in them. The conductor Beecham declared that if one came into his orchestra, the problem would be "If she is pretty, she'll distract the men, if ugly, she'll distract me!"....Women created their own opportunities by founding and organizing all-female orchestras, of which there were many back then.
Toscanini invited Kleiber to conduct the NBC Symphony in the late 40s, and those were his last trips to the US

| | The Rebirth Of The Danube Delta - Romania - 1175 sec
Sep 1997
The grandiose schemes of Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu turned the Danube River Delta into a desert-like dust bowl. In the 1980s he decided to transform Europe's richest land into a breadbasket to feed Eastern Europe. Instead, his system of dykes, dams and artificial lakes wreaked massive environmental destruction. By the time of Ceausescu's demise in 1989, 40,000 ha of the Delta had been destroyed. With the disappearance of the fish, birds and rare mammals went the traditional lifestyle of the Lipovenes, ethnic Ukrainians who'd fled Russia, and who relied on the wildlife of the Delta - especially the giant sturgeon. Today, weed-filled fields still remain useless for farming, while fish collecting stations and salt mines lie disused. However, the Delta is making a remarkable recovery, thanks to an innovative World Bank Programme. Birds and plants are returning and although the sturgeon haven't recovered, the Lipovenes believe they too now have a future on the Delta.

I specially like to thank my dear friend, user name "Beethoveen" for asking me to play this masterpiece and giving me the original sheet music .
This piece is about 11 minutes long and to stay within the limit I had to cut a bit from the beginning and I made some improvisation to add the Strings melodies.
