An American Travesty ...,
By
This review is from: George Gershwin: Complete Piano Works (Audio CD)
With all due respect to Achatz, as a music historian of George Gershwin and his music for over 25 years, I have never in all my life heard these solos played with such a complete disregard for the historically known style of Gershwin's original performances, or the time-honored tradition held by such great pianists as Leonard Pennario, Dick Hyman, Oscar Levant and Peter Nero ~ the tempos on this recording are without discussion self-indulgent to the artist, there is a gross exaggeration of the "jazz" swing throughout, and an overall feel that has no place in representing Gershwin, Early American Jazz, or the transcriptions that George himself wrote ... freedom of interpretation aside, this is unacceptable.

This review is from: George Gershwin: Complete Piano Works (Audio CD)
The music sings again without the voice. We found ourselves stopping and listening to all of the music even though we've heard it hundreds of time. Great rags.
