Malina Brothers play "classical" bluegrass....

By Ruth Ellen Gruber

The Malina brothers from the Czech Republic -- Lubos, Pavel and Pepa -- came to visit me in Italy this week for a couple of days and gave an informal house concert at the home of a friend in the village.

Along with the bluesgrass, country and original songs, they played a couple of bluegrass versions of classical pieces -- Beethoven's 5th symphony and "Skocna" from Smetana's Bartered Bride... Much fun, as they say, was had by all...
