Description: | Soon after writing his great works for piano and orchestra (available on VOX-NX-3018CD), Gershwin turned
to his â??tone poem for orchestraâ??, An American in Paris. With indelible themes, and masterly string writing,
it remains one of his best-known works. Gershwinâ??s Rumba for orchestra, the vivacious Cuban Overture,
was inspired by a visit to Havana. A few years later Porgy and Bess opened to mixed reviews in New York
and Gershwin hoped to salvage some of the music in a suite that, when it was rediscovered in 1958 by Ira
Gershwin, was called Catfish Row. - ..
