“this intriguing pairing [of Chailly and Bollani]…points up\nthe intrinsic balance between the formal and the demotic that\ndrives \“Rhapsody in Blue\”, and works well, save for some rather\nover-aggressive percussive flourishes around the 12-minute mark.\n\“Catfish Row\”, an abbreviated suite culled from Porgy and Bess, is\nexuberant and involving.” 11th February 2011, The\nIndependent

Review
Kate Rockstrom, Readings Carlton
You either love him or hatehim, and before we gofurther, I will admit toadoring Gershwin’s music.With the new recordingfrom Decca, it will givethose who dislike his music even more totalk about. Stefano Bollani has been called a‘jazz star’, while Riccardo Chailly is consideredone of the premier conductors stillalive. What do you get when you mix them?Why, just about perfect Gershwin of course!Full of joy, and the cheekiness inherent inGershwin’s music, this blend of jazz andclassical has never been so beautiful. Weoften forget that Gershwin was a groundbreakerin his time, and this recording makesit sound fresh and new all over again.
