Marking the centenary of Gershwins Rhapsody in Blue, Universal Music Italy present Chailly and Bollanis thrilling recording in a limited and numbered 180gm 2-LP gatefold blue vinyl edition.
Chailly blends the classical elegance and sophistication of the Gewandhaus Orchestra with the jazz/blues sensibility of the mercurial Milan-born jazz legend Stefano Bollani.
The Rhapsody is performed in Grofs original jazz-band version (orchestrated by Paul Whiteman), and in Gershwins original symphonic orchestration of the Concerto Chailly and Bollani leave no doubt that this is an American Jazz Age concerto.
Catfish Row, Gershwins own five-movement orchestral suite from Porgy and Bess provides a bridge between the Rhapsody and the Concerto and Gershwins earliest significant work, the Broadway-inspired rag Rialto Ripples rounds out the set.
