This is a great recording of some of George Gershwin's finest works. The preludes are a little exact for my liking but the Rhapsodie in blue is world class.The highlight comes with "An American in Paris" featuring probably the finest trumpet solo ever recorded for this piece.If you only buy one Gershwin album, try to buy this one (it is rather difficult to get hold of now). If you want to buy two, get The Glory of Gershwin with Larry Adler as well.
