Do yourself the favor of listening to this music with good earphones because it is simply amazing. I often cried in ecstatic appreciation as I first listened to these incredible performances of American music by some of the finest musicians in Europe. Rhapsody in Blue, for piano & orchestra (orchestrated by Ferde Grofé)and played by world famous Hungarian pianist Jeno Jando, is subtle and brilliant. George Gershwin, a master pianist himself, would have been impressed.
