UNBELIEVABLE!!!

"The title says it best...this "IS" the best of Anthony Burger! My sons bought this for my birthday and gave me a choice between the audio CD or DVD...I am so glad I chose the DVD. If you are a die-hard Anthony Burger fan like me, you just can't beat watching him tear a piano up!!! In between songs, Bill Gaither interviews Anthony which makes it nice to get an inside look at who he is and some of his background and how he became such a great pianist. This DVD will excite you and make you so thankful they did this DVD before his sudden death. He was a quiet man, but he sure spoke loudly on the piano! There was only ONE Anthony Burger and now you can have his memory live on every time you watch this awesome DVD, which will no doubt be time and time again! "
Amazing talent; so sad he's gone

""The Best of Anthony Burger" is an amazing story about an amazingly talented man. Burned badly as a baby on a heating duct, his family was told he would never have the use of his hands. God obviously had a different plan. His genius on the piano is evident throughout, and his telling of his life story makes it all the more sad that he died at such a young age. His story is inspiring, and his musicianship is such that you will have goosebumps when hearing it. And Mr. Burger gives all the glory to God. Buy it, and you won't be sorry. You'll watch it over and over again, and will share it with others, so that they can hear the inspirational message."
This is truly the "best"

"I have both the CD and DVD because I get withdrawal if I don't have his music in my car. If it were possible, I'd rate this more than 5 stars. We truly lost a great talent!

So Much Talent

"Having known Anthony for several years and having been an acquantence for a long time I think I can say that Anthony had more talent than I've ever seen in a young man. Having overcome the burning of his hands early in life he accomplished much. He was a person who throughly enjoyed his music, loved the Southern Gospel music field, and loved each of his fellow performers, envious of no one.
He loved his family and they in return loved him. His story about his young son in the play about the crufixication, burial, and His coming to life again where the son says "ready or not, here I come", is really an example of Anthony's down to earth nature.
He will be missed, by his friends and those who admired his talent.
A must for all Southern Gospel fans. "

"This is another great DVD. You will hear the Hallellujah Chorus and We Shall Behold Him played like you have never heard them before. This DVD will be hard to top. It is great"
