If we could only hear Beethoven or Mozart perform their works. We are so lucky here.

Concerto in F

This recording is a gem! It's from Rudy Vallee's radio show, and the arrangement for his orchestra gives the soloist -- Mr. Gershwin -- even more to do than usual. The cuts are a little jarring, but where else are you going to hear this movement played by the composer? It's a much closer look than we usually get at how the piece sounded in Gershwin's time: a valuable document and a fun thrill ride.

I've only downloaded An American in Paris but I can tell you it has the unique sense of it being the real thing! I am sure there are other great renditions but this has the energy of it being new and fresh and alive. A fine choice for download. Number one on my list!
