George Gershwin

We love Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, from Leonard Bernstein’s many traversals of the piece, including his famous recording from when he was music director of the New York Philharmonic (and my first recording),

and this extraordinary live performance in 1976,

and his final recording, which he made with the Los Angeles Philharmonic,

to André Previn’s classic recording with the London Symphony Orchestra in 1970.
