George Gershwin - Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue; Concerto in F; An American in Paris on CD

Description

As a luminary in the worlds of classical music, jazz and show business, André Previn is the ideal interpreter of these ground-breaking works by George Gershwin. Previn, here both pianist and conductor, spent eleven years in charge of the London Symphony Orchestra, and his close relationship with its players bears fruit in sumptuous performances that go with a captivating swing. CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA - PREVIN PLAYS GERSHWIN "There's never been a better version of this exhilarating music […] these recordings may date from 1971, but they still sound first-class.” Mail on Sunday
