A Wonderful Collection
29 Dec 2000
Format:Audio CD
Erich Kunzel conducts a wonderful recording of all the orchestral Gershwin one needs. There is a great performance of Rhapsody in Blue, and An American in Paris. They are conducted and played the way Gershwin would have liked. The three preludes are played fantastically, especially Walking the Dog played brilliantly by the clarinetist. I highly recommend this to any Gershwin fan who wants a complete and wonderful recording of this fine American music.

Fantastic Perfromances
19 Dec 2008
Format:Audio CD
This CD is absolutely top-notch. If you're a fan of Gershwin, you'd do yourself a grand favor by buying this collection. The technically immaculate yet stylish performance of Rhapsody in Blue, per William Tritt, is alone worth checking out the collection (it's my personal favorite rendition of the Rhapsody); even so, every other piece in the collection is of equal quality, and I can't recommend these CDs enough.
As for the volume levels, I've had no problems with the volume being unusually low, and I've played this collection on pretty much every piece of musical equipment I own (MP3 player, 3 computers, 2 portable CD players, Xbox 360, home theater system).

Nothing could be finer than the works of George Gershwin. This album is sensational. Not as powerful as Beethoven, not as strident as Bach. but truly classical in the same vein.
