Writing about Gershwins iconic Rhapsody in Blue, Leonard Bernstein suggested that it might not be a real composition in the sense that whatever happens in it must seem inevitable, or even pretty inevitable

A propos de lemblématique Rhapsody in Blue de Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein écrivait: Ce nest peut-être pas une vraie composition, au sens où tout ce qui arrive doit paraître inévitable, ou lêtre vraiment

  • Was this piece of music played at the beginning of every film I saw when I was a child? I vaguely remember this playing when a movie started and they showed black and white footage of a movie studio, the one that financed the film, before the actual film started. Soooo familiar.

  • get the title right

  • @Kerry1960 right, because he didn't even get anywhere near that piano.

  • I love it, but the title is wrong. The musicians performed. Bernstein only directed.

  • not a classical music fan ... but this all seems so familiar ... im thinkin all the rock i heard was written by ppl who no this muz

  • 4: 55 - that's Woody ! welcome back Woody!

  • Bernstein had arrogance but when you're that good -so be it. Allowed. All his talents were "as good as it gets."

  • この人の解釈が一番好きだ

  • Aaah it's so agreable to listen...

  • @jimicheesecake I totally agree. I played cello for An American in Paris for a high school music festival, and I picked up a CD with that, Lullaby for Strings, and Rhapsody in Blue on it, and it's now one of my all-time favorites. Bernstein almost ruined parts of this piece for me by how slow he took it. The recording I favor is by Libor Pesek: Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra. I had never heard of Gershwin before, but man, was I missing out.
