About This Item
George Gershwin fired up the New York music scene with his melange of alluring tunes and refinement of the jazz vibe. His Strike up the Band Overture opened a flashy Broadway hit and, inspired by a train ride, the composer heard his masterpiece Rhapsody in Blue as a Inchmusical kaleidoscope of AmericaInch. Promenade was reconstructed from a 1937 film score, and Catfish Rowwas Gershwin's concert suite from the opera Porgy and Bess. Acclaimed as a Inchbold, gutsy performance with plenty of pizzazzInch and with Inchimpressive brilliance and depthInch, JoAnn Falletta's previous Gershwin volume can be found on NBD0025. Details 1.
