George Gershwins Concerto in F was a response to demands for a proper concerto after the success of Rhapsody in Blue, avoiding programmatic content while providing a feast of tunes both uplifting and nostalgic. Originally intended as music for a film, his up-beat Rhapsody No. 2 describes the bustling Manhattan cityscape while under construction. Sourced from his hit musical Girl Crazy, I Got Rhythm Variations was Gershwins last full score.
These performances serve the music well…. sound is warm, rich and perfectly suited to this repertoire. –IRR,Mar’12If we have to have yet another recording of Gershwin s Piano Concerto there are things to admire in this one. Orion Weiss never engages in the kind of exaggeration which some pianists have used to define their identity and his dry rhythmic delivery is thoroughly idiomatic.. these pieces get snappy performances in well-balanced, clear recordings: an enjoyable collection. –Gramophone, May 2012
