CD Reviews

Surprisingly great Gershwin
Peter Chordas | Portland, OR USA | 04/05/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Wow! I'm shocked that no one has reviewed this CD! In essence, this represents Gershwin's most recognizable pieces and the recordings are magnificent. Many know of "Rhapsody in Blue," and "An American in Paris." But it's great to have "Porgy and Bess- Medley", I've got rhythm," "Cuban Overture," and "Second Rhapsody" as well. I was not familiar with that last one. I haven't ever heard the Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra play before or Leonard Pennario play piano for that matter. Of course, Felix Slatkin is well known and respected as well as Alfred Newman. Both conduct with exactness in style. Gershwin was the first to infuse jazzy elements into classical music. If you love American music and George Gershwin, then this CD is a great one to have."
