Info for Gershwin, Tower & Stucky: Works for Piano & Orchestra

Dieses Album präsentiert drei klassische Gershwin-Stücke, die in Ersteinspielungen der neuen Gershwin Critical Edition zu hören sind. Die Edition versucht, die Intentionen des Komponisten unter Verwendung aller vorhandenen Manuskripte und anderer Quellen, wie z. B. Klavierrollen, so genau wie möglich wiederzugeben. Im Falle der Rhapsody in Blue basiert die Ausgabe auf Ferde Grofés symphonischem Arrangement, obwohl 44 Takte der ursprünglichen Jazzband-Version enthalten sind. Ebenfalls enthalten sind die Zweite Rhapsodie und die Kubanische Ouvertüre sowie Joan Towers treibende Studie über Rhythmus und Textur und Steven Stuckys gespenstische Walzerbeschwörungen.

Kevin Cole
is widely regarded as the foremost interpreter of George Gershwin’s compositions. Cole’s performances have garnered accolades from America’s most prominent music critics and multiple return engagements with orchestras and concert series across the country. He is the first pianist to play all four of Gershwin’s works for piano and orchestra in one concert (Albany Symphony). From the Hollywood Bowl to the BBC Concert Orchestra, Cole’s jazz-classical artistry has been presented and lauded at the highest levels.

A brilliant music director and arranger, Cole has crafted dazzling orchestral and concert programs that showcase the genius of American composers Marvin Hamlisch, Cole Porter, and George Gershwin. BLUE RHAPSODY, a program for symphonies with Cole as soloist for Rhapsody in Blue and Concerto in F in one performance, and COLE PLAYS GERSHWIN, a solo piano show for concert and festival series that includes Gershwin’s own arrangement of Rhapsody in Blue and Cole’s arrangements from the Gershwin songbook, are booking now in celebration of 100 years of Rhapsody in Blue (1924). ...
