After a sensational worldwide debut with their self-titled first album, The 5 Browns are back with No Boundaries, their all-new recording for RCA Red Seal. No Boundaries features the five piano virtuosos in a wide-ranging selection of music both familiar and rare. Highlighting the recording, which showcases the five playing together and in various combinations, are spellbinding transcriptions of Gershwin s Rhapsody in Blue, Stravinsky s The Firebird as well as the new work Simple Gifts/Going Home variations on Copland s Shaker hymn Simple Gifts from Appalachian Spring and Dvorak s Going Home theme from his Ninth Symphony. This Dual Disc format combines audio and video content on a two-sided disc and features music videos of The 5 Browns performing three tracks from the album. The videos were shot outdoors in Utah, with the Browns five black Steinways in dramatic contrast to the snow-white surface of the Bonneville Salt Flats, framed by a beautiful setting of purple mountains in the distance and a pink desert horizon at sunset.
