  • George Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue, New York, with Jerzy Maksymiuk and pianist Daniel Vnukowski at the Warsaw philharmonic during 2017 New Year's Concert. Date: January 1st, 2017.
    GEORGE GERSHWIN (Composer) was born in Brooklyn in 1898 and began his musical training at 13. Rhapsody in Blue is a musical composition written for solo piano and jazz band written in 1924 which combines elements of classical music with jazz-influenced effects. In fact, Rachmaninoff was one of the audience members who was wowed at the premiere of the work, which premiered in an afternoon concert on February 12, 1924 held by Paul Whiteman and his band Palais Royal orchestra entitled an experiment in modern music given at New York's Aeolian Hall with George Gershwin at the piano.
    Rhapsody in Blue's piano part was actually written down after this concert took place, so we have no clue how the work actually sounded that day. The famous clarinet solo glissando opening "wail" is one of the great clarinet solos in the 20th century music history, and was improvised on the spot during a rehearsal, giving a touch of humour to the the very opening of the piece.
    George Gershwin's famous "Rhapsody in Blue" played live by Daniel Vnukowski at the Philharmonic Hall in Warsaw, Poland under the direction of Jerzy Maksymiuk.

    Amazing concert. Full of bravura, energy and fireworks. This interpretation really captures the "blues" feeling of Gershwin's masterpiece.

    I think that after all these years, I have found a new favorite rendition of my favorite piece! For years and years I have enjoyed Oscar Levant and Eugene Ormandy's recording, but this performance really shines. Perfect attack and decay of every note, and the delicacy of Daniel V's piano technique is absolutely perfect. Not a note is slurred, his attention to the detail and emotion is - well, I am out of superlatives. And let's face it - If it ain't played on a Steinway, it ain't played! Simply Wonderful!

    Truly one of the great pieces ever written for the concert hall. I always get a thrill listening to the cacophony of sounds both shrill and atonal. It is altogether a marvelous work of art. Audiences at one time might have been totally shocked by the discordant sounds blaring at them.

    The brilliant 1924 arrangement of "Rhapsody in Blue" was written by the great Ferde Grofé (1892-1972)... who would later go on to compose the gorgeous "Grand Canyon Suite."

    There are many, many versions and each listener values one or the other according to his knowledge and feelings, so there is no "best" version for everybody. So far, this one is the one I've enjoyed most.

    What are the differences between 1924 and 1942 Grofé Version?

    • @vnukowski
      @vnukowski  23 дня назад

      Great question. The 1924 version was scored for brass and percussion, while the 1942 was scored for full orchestra, both by Grofé. The 1942 version has been the most popular choice for decades, but many artists are now returning to the 1924 jazz band scoring, finding it more dynamic and playful.
