Technically,
the Piano Guys
are the music duo of pianist
Jon Schmidt
and cellist
Steven Sharp Nelson
, but
are also a 21st century multimedia collective that includes
Paul Anderson
, studio engineer and writer
Al van der Beek
, and videographer
Tel Stewart
, and together they produce musical and video gems that mash up classical themes with pop songs. This set is part compilation, collecting recent singles and movie soundtrack pieces, part new covers of hit songs done in the group's unique style, and part new compositions from the group. One of the clear highlights is the homage to the various Batman themes over the years, "Batman Evolution." ~ Steve Leggett
