Gershwin: Piano Concerto in F Major, 2nd Rhapsody & I Got Rh

George Gershwin's Concerto in F was
a response to demands for a 'proper
concerto' after the success of
Rhapsody in Blue, avoiding
programmatic content while
providing a feast of tunes both
uplifting and nostalgic. Originally
intended as music for a film, his
up-beat Rhapsody No. 2 describes the
bustling Manhattan cityscape while
under construction. Sourced from his
hit musical Girl Crazy, I Got Rhythm
Variations was Gershwin's last full
score. Pianist Orion Weiss is one of
the most sought-after soloists and
collaborators of his generation of
young American musicians.
