This is the one...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue; An American in Paris (Audio CD)
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.

An Unquestionably Good Performance,

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.

I heard it on public radio and rushed home to order it!,

This review is from: Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue; An American in Paris (Audio CD)
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!!

I have listened to this recording on vinyl. I copied it onto a cassette in order to play it in my car. I am so looking forward to the CD. This version is astonishingly beautiful. It takes your breath away!

Not as expected,
By dbphoenix (Phoenix, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue; An American in Paris (Audio CD)
Though I'm glad music fan enjoyed this disc, and while List is excellent as always and the Cincinnati is up to the task, the Rhapsody in Blue is done with full orchestra, not Jazz Ensemble. Anyone looking forward to the original and rarely heard original jazz version will be disappointed to hear yet another full though not necessarily overblown orchestral rendering.
