While Orli and Gil are less than five years apart in age, they suprisingly have not performed together in public as often as one would suspect. Apparently, their parents discouraged them from doing so, since Orli, as she explains to Fred Child, was "just ready to come out of the sandbox" when Gil was already having a big career. So, instead of tagging along with her big brother, Orli has become a renowned and respected concert pianist in her own right.

But, perhaps this Studio 4A session is a preview of more to come from this brother and sister team. Plans are underway for a tour together in the fall of 2004. Plus, Gil and Orli have ideas for a CD; their only recording together was the 1997 CD of music by Dvorák. Is there a sibling rivalry? You may hear a playful one in this perf-chat as they "argue" over whether or not these Brahms Hungarian Dances sound better in their original context (for piano), or as transcribed for violin and piano by Joseph Joachim.
