This review is from: The World's Greatest Composers: Gershwin [Collector's Edition Music Tin] (Audio CD)

This tin set contains hours of enjoyment and highlights Gershwin's most popular pieces. Inside is a thick cardboard foldout holding the CDs and a little booklet detailing Gershwin's life and musical success. The 4 CDs are excellent, with the only setback being that the complete solo piano version of Rhapsody in Blue is not featured. Otherwise, excellent!
