For fifteen years I have taken this recording of "An American In Paris" with me to test sound systems. Full-bodied, great range and depth, achingly beautiful.

While Leonard Bernstein and the NY Phil did a "Rhapsody" with more swagger, Kunzel and the Cincinnati Sym Orch have done it with more elegance. I have owned this recording for many years and I listen to it often. It is a fine work.

5.0 out of 5 stars I heard it on public radio and rushed home to order it!, April 9, 1999

I heard the Cincinnati Jazz Ensemble of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra version on Public Radio in Mississippi on my way home from work. As soon as I got in the door, I went to amazon.com to look for the title and order. I think it's the best arrangement and recording of "Rhapsody in Blue" I've ever heard. I loved it!!
