Gershwin was a true original, his unique sound blending classical finesse with the freedom of jazz.
This programme features Gershwin's masterpiece for piano and orchestra, Rhapsody in Blue, as well as his witty, evocative portrait of An American in Paris. Gershwin’s last concert piece, the fascinating Variations on 'I Got Rhythm' of 1934, was dedicated to his brother and lyricist, Ira. The Gershwins' song is showcased in an array of styles, including Oriental and even atonal.
