Sad recordings of fine music 16 April 2009
By Simple soul - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Unfortunately, all of the 'artists' recorded on these discs feel that their listeners would be bored listening to these pieces as Gershwin wrote them. So, almost EVERY number has been individualized. This is very distracting. Some numbers are hardly recognizable. And how could they distort and ruin Rhapsody in Blue? But they did.
I'm very sorry I bought this album.
