The 5 Browns, 2008-06-07
This family of pianist is single (as a whole) handedly boosting the a renewed interest for classical music for people of all ages. Their musical education is heard and seen in the videos and on the cd portion.

ok, but not stellar, 2008-02-03
The Browns are a bunch of over-hyped musicians in today's media-oriented society (aka. Charlotte Church). The recordings are nothing to write home about -- Their musicianship is average at best. Many of the pieces lacked depth of though and some of the interpretations were a bit odd. Ok, if you like "popular" classical music. I say skip this one.

An Amazing Family, 2007-09-30
The 5 Browns are quite a family. Their musical choices are fun, engaging and a little sassy! Watching 5 young people play on 5 grand pianos all at once in one room is quite wonderful. Inspiring for a youngster taking piano lessons, this CD/DVD is also just great music to listen to.

Not all that impressed, 2007-06-01
I can't help but thinking that this is just another group of virtuoso kids that is being used for the fame of another. The music lacks fullness and invention, and tends to be a doubling of a lot of standard voicing. There is some ornamentation, and there's no doubt that each of these kids is a giften pianist, but as a group, I was not all that impressed. Cute group, though.
