Reiner Winterschladen - Gershwin, Ludemann & Winterschladen: Porgy’s Dream - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Referring to a musical work of the century such as George Gershwin's popular opera InchPorgy and BessInch entails enormous risks. This is especially the case when this popular work has spawned many ubiquitous song classics. Hans Ludemann also believes InchYou have to have a good reason to tackle thisInch and, of course, a coherent concept for a new, own approach. This has succeeded brilliantly with InchPorgy's DreamInch. The very personal homage of Ludemann and trumpeter Reiner Winterschladen is not content with competent interpretations in the usual jazz style. The duo is based on selected themes and unfolds an intense atmosphere in it's freely interpreted pieces, which thoroughly lives up to the original work.
