This review is from: Music Minus One Piano: Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue (Book & CD Set) (Paperback)

Gershwin's signature concerto can be daunting with double sharps, block chords and lightning fast arpeggios, but you can always pare the selection down to fit your needs. The orcestral track (both with and without piano) is expertly done and well worth the price.
