George Gershwin (1897-1937) compiled the Songbook in the early 1930's at the invitation of his publisher, selecting his favourite 18 among the hundreds of songs he had composed up to that point and producing piano-only transcriptions which bear mark of his pianistic heritage and education in both classical and popular spheres, from Rachmaninoff to Zez Confrey. Jazz, ragtime and klezmer all inflect these songs with their own unique harmonies, but ever since their composition of they have transcended national and cultural boundaries to win the hearts of anyone who appreciates a melody, whether jaunty or melancholy or erotic.

Agree, Marc-André Hamelin played that one (and all the others as well) much better than this pianist. It's still a nice recording though!

I feel that most of the pieces are rushed. "I got rhythm" sounds an awful mess played at that speed, it misses out all the subtleties that are in the original composition by being played way too fast.

He can play , but some of the pieces were played at an absurdly fast tempo, I wonder if he ever listen to the original versions.....

Not sure what's meant by "original versions"? Gershwin never recorded his "Song Book" arrangements (1932), but they are plainly based on the his own style of playing. To my ear, this recording seems mostly in line with Gershwin's tempos . (To take one instance, Gershwin's 1926 version of "Sweet and Lowdown" -- recorded a few months after it premiered in "Tip-Toes" is faster than here. The earlier, band version by the Whiteman Orchestra, may be what you're referring to as the original version, but even that is faster than what is played here!
Wow! I love the use of chromatism throughout these miniature compositions!
The pianist sounds like a classical musician
