I love so much Gershwin’s melodies… R. Bennett did a nice work with this arrangement, using some of them from the outstanding and unfortunately overshadowed opera.

I adore this music!!! I love Gershwin!!!

01:03 I don't know 02:39 Strawberry Woman's Song 03:37 Crab Man's Song 04:33 Clara, Clara Don't You Be Downhearted (Originally released on Decca 78s as "The Requiem") 07:08 Introduction/Overture 08:15 Summertime 11:08 I Got Plenty O' Nuttin' 12:45 Why You Been Out On That Wharf So Long, Clara (This is what the RCA recording labels this section as. Regardless, it is the lead up to the hurricane bell, which is heard beginning at 13:43) 14:33 Bess, You Is My Woman Now 18:25 Oh, I Can't Sit Down 20:12 Brief "It Ain't Necessarily So" interlude 20:39 There's A Boat That's Leaving Soon For New York 23:48 It Ain't Necessarily So 25:17 Brief Reprise of the Overture 25:31 Oh, Lord I'm On My Way There are some sections of transitional music, which I think are from the opera, but I don't know the names of.

Thankyou for your kindness

Fantastic performance~! This Bennett version is my favorite than Catfish Row version. I bought a casette tape of Dorati with Detroit SO long ago and this live performance shows more live feelings than studio recording. Bravo~~!!

Alot of people don't know that this music was orchestrated by Robert Russell Bennett (of "Victory at Sea" fame.

Thanks a lot

És fantàstic

Nice recording Rico! I don't often listen to Gershwin and I am pleasantly surprised. Looks like a pretty recent one as it is with Iceland Symphony.

Inspirado Gerswhin, gran compositor, y estupenda interpretación (salvo alguna trompeta desafinada)

23:47 - favorite part

Nice job. I think the conductor missed opportunities on syncopation and tempos generally, were a bit too slow, in my opinion. I've heard this many times. I think Andre Previn had it nailed down with his recording with the Pittsburgh.

It sounded to me like they needed some more rehearsal time. This piece doesn't just play itself and the orchestra could have used a little more experience with it.

Is it complete version by the arranger?

Yes

I guess it's too much to ask for a program with timings?
