As we all know, Gershwin was an excellent pianist from the beginning. 1925, he personally played the piano version of rhapsody in blue, leaving a very good and clear recording. So, in the 1970s, Thomas took a different approach and directed the orchestra to make this piano recording into an orchestra, which matched the silk pattern well and was likely to confuse the real with the fake. It sounds faster than the average 15 minutes of rhapsody in blue, only 13 minutes. You may not be used to this speed, and I'm not sure whether it is more in line with Gershwin's original intention. After all, when he plays the piano solo, he doesn't need to leave room for the band to play. However, I dare say that Thomas's jazz is fuller and the band's cooperation is more free and easy than Bernstein's famous song (Sony SMK 42264) with normal speed and excellent performance.

[Gershwin, rhapsody in blue and Grophy] In george gershwin's masterpiece rhapsody in blue, we can find the best extension and application of American jazz music and sentimental music in rhythm, melody and harmony. Gershwin dreamed of bringing sentimental songs based on jazz to American concert halls. His first concert-style work "rhapsody in blue" was modeled after Liszt's "hungarian rhapsody", which was created for piano solos accompanied by all symphony orchestras. Gershwin later studied orchestration so that he could create the most effective instrumental part for his music, but for rhapsody in blue, he hired a skilled composer to compose. The composer is Ferde Grofe, a famous American composer. Later, he used his orchestration skills to write some of his own works-mostly audio and video pictures of American scenes. His Grand Canyon Suite is a dazzling musical instrument color matching exhibition to express the colors and emotional feelings of nature.
