The whole piece seems rushed to me. But still, lovely.

Música suprema. Coisas de Gershwin. Jobim. Debussy.
Praise God!

@hourlynewscaster Oh yeah, remember he wrote something like 860 songs. Some of them are decidedly ho hum, but those aren't the ones you hear today.

Plus Cab Calloway and Maya Angelou! Mind boggling...
-
Two of the greatest voices combined in a single piece of genius music.

@hourlynewscaster I sure can't think of anything Gershwin wrote that we could dismiss as "marginal," let alone "bad." He was a genius. Kern might have been a genius as well, though not quite at Gershwin's level. But the guy was awful damn good. "Old Man River," indeed the whole score for "Showboat," other great stuff that I'm forgetting because of drowsiness after my fourth beer:). Let us also recall Harold Arlen, another white urban northern Jew who really rocked in this repetoire:).

In this recording, Warfield lacks the rich, freely-flowing quality that he commanded at his best. Indeed, he seems to be pushing a bit, as though he wasn't confident that his sound would carry well in this venue. But Price is magnificent. And beginning at 2:23 and continuing through to the end, forget it; this section of "Bess, You Is" always gives me chills and makes me weep:)

And a fairly young William Warfield too -- I think he sounded better with some age on him. But you all are right: Leontyne is amazing....makes the eyes tear-up just listening to it!
