GERSHWIN: An American in Paris / Porgy and Bess / Rhapsody in Blue

Sometimes a composer owes his popular reputation to a single work. With his composition ‘Rhapsody in Blue’, Gershwin defined the idea of ‘symphonic jazz’ and created a new musical synthesis. The other works on this disc, his exuberant ballet and lyrical opera, are also quintessentially American masterpieces.
