FIVE BROWNS - THE 5 BROWNS (DD)

With one of the most appealing Classical music stories of recent times, The 5 Browns, an extraordinary quintet of Classical pianists who are brothers and sisters, are ready to take the world by storm. The 5 Browns—Desirae, Deondra, Gregory, Melody and Ryan—attended New York’s Juilliard School where for the first time in the prestigious school’s history, it accepted five members from the same family. This debut disc premieres spectacular five-piano transcriptions– created expressly for The 5 Browns – of Bernstein’s “Scenes from West Side Story,” Rimsky-Korsakov's “Flight of the Bumble Bee;” Dukas’s The Sorcerer's Apprentice; and Grieg’s “In the Hall of the Mountain King” from Peer Gynt, Op. 23.  The West Side Story transcription by Kendall Durelle Briggs, the other three by Jeffrey Shumway. Here come The 5 Browns, watch out.
