“i think the work of andersen very nice. i have recorded two pieces with him. the combination that he makes using traditional instruments and electronic keyboards results a contemporary treatment to the orchestra. his harmony is very well done. it is not romantic and not totally classical and also, he is not the contemporary that sometimes is boring and selective. at last, it is very nice. his CD we put on the player and listen it peacefully.
