George Gershwin fired up the New York music scene with his mélange 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 “musical kaleidoscope of America”. Promenade was reconstructed from a 1937 film score, and Catfish Row was Gershwin’s concert suite from the opera Porgy and Bess. Acclaimed as a “bold, gutsy performance with plenty of pizzazz” and with “impressive brilliance and depth”.
„The orchestral contribution is lively and idiomatic, with jazzy clarinet and trumpet. The solo playing is clean and clear, but I would also describe it as thoughtful and careful.“ (Anthony Burton, BBC Music Magazine)
„On this second Gershwin disc from Falletta, the Buffalo Philharmonic, and Orion Weiss is a very personal performance of Rhapsody in Blue that completes the works for piano and orchestra. I would describe [Weiss’s] performance here as lovingly sensitive and very detailed… The current release adds a fascinating and varied group of other Gershwin music. Every piece here is arranged for orchestra by others. One of the most enjoyable tracks is the well-known ‘Promenade’ from Shall We Dance arranged for clarinet and orchestra (with some nice piano solos) by Sol Berkowitz. It is these orchestral pieces that will bring me back to this disc.“ (James Harrington, American Record Guide)
