First, for those who have never listened to The Piano Guys or seen their videos, imagine a mix of Pop/Rock, New Age, and Classical music. Most of the music they play has an accompanying video that adds to the feel and atmosphere of each song in a way only 5 guys from Utah have been able to do. All their music is meant to be positive, uplifting, beautiful, and above all, family friendly. Fans of The Piano Guys span all age groups and are found in all corners of the world. If you are looking for something with passion that won't overwhelm the senses like so much media today, look no further than The Piano Guys.
This album comes shortly after The Piano Guys signed with Sony Masterworks. If you have heard or own their first album under their own label, then you will recognize a few of the songs on this new album, but they are welcome additions to a very well rounded track list. Not a single song feels out of place or "forgotten". The two previously unreleased songs: Titanium/Pavane and Arwen's Vigil, don't disappoint. Vigil starts soft and romantic like the title suggests, and then picks up momentum about half-way through and finishes again on a slow note. For fans of the movies, the song reflects the various ups and downs of the fantastic story in fine style. Titanium/Pavane was heard once before this release during the taping of their PBS special in mid September and the quality of the performance is certainly heard in both versions. It's obvious why this song is said to be The Piano Guys' favorite. This is the second time David Guetta was covered by The Piano Guys and I hope they plan on using more of that style of music because it translates so well onto classical instruments (with the flair that The Piano Guys are famous for). A video should, hopefully, follow the album release closely and, as always, The Piano Guys experience is not complete without the videos to go with the songs. So, if you haven't seen their youtube page, go to: www.youtube.com/thepianoguys and check out all the great videos available. And subscribe to The Piano Guys for all their future releases.

Some music is good, some music is fair, some music is tolerable, and once in a while you come across music that is truley inspiring and just plain blows your mind. This album does just that! Been a fan of them on youtube for a while, glad SONY finally noticed them!

I have followed The Piano Guys since the mash-up of Taylor Swift's Love Story, and Coldplay's Viva la Vida.
They are simply amazing. Their arrangements and renditions of Pop music combined with Classical Music cannot be matched.
Their YouTube channel has provided me hours or audio enjoyment and I'm glad to have purchased their first album.
It has not ceased to disappoint, considering I'm on my 3rd full time through and studying in my U's library.
I hope them nothing but happiness and success, and it's so very refreshing to see how much enjoyment that they put into their performances, which directly affects me as a listener to how powerful and passionate their music is.
Buy this, you won't be dissapointed. $10 is a nominal fee to pay for such amazing music and I am exuberant at the fact that I am supporting them!

It wasn't what I expected. Still, I try to listen to it in case I...
It"s not up to me to tell the others what to like. I expected only easy listening and there was voice added to some songs.
I will not buy the second one.

Finally, after all these years, inspiration!
To fully grasp what this artful music means to me I believe first requires a little background. I was born with a wonderful gift, the ability to play piano at the ripe age of 3. Read more
