Have you heard of the 5 Browns?

I think I saw a television program about them once.  Are they really as good the program claims them to be?

They're pretty good, yeah.  I guess the big hype is because there are 5 siblings that are all good pianists.  Didn't they all go to Julliard?  So I guess they're the best in the country, right?    he he

I saw them on some TV special a while back, too.  I enjoyed the youngest one the most.

Their new CD's last track is "The Firebird" by Stravinsky. Obviously, they're not playing the whole 70+ minute thing, does anybody know what exactly it entails?

I remember hearing that before they moved out of their parents' house, they were cranking music out of 5 (count 'em 5!) Grand Pianos. Hope they're taking care of the Old Man now. That had to be a chunk of change.  :o

Make that 5 Steinway grand piano's. A chunk of change is right. I wonder if they had a deal with steinway or something? I'm no expert on there music but it sound's good to me!
