GERSHWIN - RHAPSODY IN BLUE - AMERICAN IN PARIS - SLATKIN-SLS *Hybrid SACD4.0*

GERSHWIN/RHAPSODY IN BLUE/SLATKIN

From his origins as a Tin Pan Alley song plugger to his hard earned acknowledgment as a preeminent American composer, George Gershwin's contributions to America's musical legacy are immeasurable. Finally, discerning listeners can experience the full, spectacular glory of Gershwin with spacious multichannel sound on Ultradisc UHR SACD! This outstanding collection by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab features GAIN 2 System mastering and inspired performances by the Saint Louis Symphony as conducted by maestro conductor Leonard Slatkin. Track highlights include 'Rhapsody in Blue' featuring pianist Jeffrey Siegel, 'Promenade' with George Silfies on solo clarinet, and 'Cuban Overture' highlighting violinist John Korman and cellist Yuan Tung.

“Yet another spectacularly successful transfer from the master tapes to SACD. If you like this music, you probably have these performances in the original releases, but you ain’t heard nothing yet! The orchestra is more coherent as an ensemble performing in a real space, and there lots of detail without highlighting. A delight from beginning to end!”
