Superb performance! The pianist is obviously having a great time.

This piece has always been identified as uniquely New York in nature, with its loud, brassy announcement of a chaotic, bustling city in the first quarter of the 20th century, thus making it an important part of American music.

I believe the pianist was possessed by Gershwin. He played so damn well! Bravo.

[Rhandi Reynard]

Existe música para orquestacomo esta, que enmedio del gobi del día, ebá escucharse reclinado comodamente o acostado y, cerando los ojos entrara po las plantas de los pies removiendo entrañas, hasta que el clímax expulse por los oídos toda materia extraña, dejando internamente en cada organo, la resonancia exacta de cada instrumento... ¡excelente!

[Alvaro Herrero Martinez]

Hey play it really slow an that makes it borring

If it will be faster it will be better

The pianist is wonderfull

Too loud? Well, it was at *FORTISSIMO FEST* 2010 so deal with it, you racist pig.

[Bevin Chu]

Tempo way too slow. Instead of being "majestic" it is merely ponderous.

[Bevin Chu]

Your comment about race is absurd. Gershwin was inspired by the valuable contribution of African American musicians. That was a good thing.

His work was great in part because it ignored artificial racial boundaries, saw past skin color, and expressed universal human values.

Now you want to reimpose racial segregation?

Man that piano sounds like garbage. Great performance though!
