Rhapsody in Blue was originally arranged by Ferde Grofé for jazz band before being orchestrated for symphony orchestra. Here Kempf and the Bergen Philharmonic play this original version.
Concerto in F was a commission for Gershwin to write a ‘proper’ piano concerto, but still takes the rhythms, melodic structures and bluesy harmonies of popular music.
The disc is completed by Gershwin’s two remaining works for piano and orchestra, the Second Rhapsody and Variations on ‘I Got Rhythm’.
Contents:
- Piano Concerto in F
- Rhapsody in Blue (original jazz band version, orch. Ferde Grofé)
- Second Rhapsody for piano and orchestra (in the original 1931 orchestration by the composer)
