No Boundaries (2006)

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Release Date: Apr 04, 2006; Lead Performance: The 5 Browns; Genre: Classical

Their fantastic live performances are something to be seen: five twenty-something siblings pounding virtuosically on five Steinways in packed concert halls. On stage, the 5 Browns are big and exciting in a way that their second disc, No Boundaries doesn't fully capture, in part because it contains only three of their signature five- piano numbers. It helps, at least, that one of those two show-stoppers is George Gershwin's ''Rhapsody in Blue,'' American music's grandest theme, and that the dual disc includes three stirring music videos.
