Not Bad submitted by allie0 on August 21, 2015, 12:11pm There are many groups trying to do what the Piano Guys are, making classical instruments more popular. They do a good job mashing the classics with pop.

VERY interesting take on Classics submitted by tdsiterlet on August 30, 2016, 10:26am VERY interesting take on established Classical music pieces, as well as some very good original pieces.

Pop Songs on Piano submitted by Meginator on August 29, 2020, 1:35pm Most of what the Piano Guys do is re-imagine popular songs for piano, strings, and occasionally altered vocals. At times, the name almost feels like a misnomer, with a heavy focus (and often the melody) on the cello rather than the piano. The mash-ups are all interesting, even if they are hit or miss and often feel a bit arbitrary, and the overall vibe is an intriguing, toned-down version of contemporary radio. I felt that some of the group’s decisions worked against them, but it is always interesting to hear classically trained musicians’ take on popular songs.
