Gershwin: Rhapsody In Blue/An American In Paris

Superb!

Bernstein's piano is amazing. This is the most interesting and engaging interpretation of Gershwin's classic I've ever listened to. December 16, 2008

cd- Rhapsoy In Blue Gershwin

I loved these songs since I first heard them. Especially the RAPSODY IN BLUE which I probably heard it first in the movie, An American In Paris.
This cd rendition is perfect. I have it loaded on my pod as well as having the cd in my office to listen to (among others) as I do my work in here. I strongly recommend this cd to everyone. Bev Sorensen October 10, 2008

Gershwin; Rhapsody in Blue/American in Paris

This CD was everthing I expeced. It contained the entire (16.26 minute) version of Rhapsody in Blue and brings back some wonderful memories from my high school days and music appreciation classes. August 31, 2008

My Favorite Recording of a Favorite Piece

Here in Los Angeles I hear Gershwin played on KUSC, the classical station owned by USC, fairly often as part of their mix; it can be a real pleasure when you're stuck in traffic. However, their recordings are generally the James Levine ones, which I feel are rushed and scattered. Bernstein was born to execute this music. He inflames it with such character, tone and swing that I can't help but see dancing in my head when I hear it. I also think the Great Recording series is an excellently-priced way to go for some of the greats, but this particular selection happens to be a personal favorite. August 31, 2008

Gershwin Done Right!

I love all of the CDs I own that feature Leonard Bernstein as pianist and conductor. Under Mr. Bernstein's baton, the New York Philharmonic delivers a plush version of Mr. Gershwin's two works. I highly recommend this CD to those who love George Gershwin's music. August 21, 2008
