I am very fan of Gershwin, but just since my 18 (10 years ago), and I
didn't know that! Isn't there any recording of the "original" score of it?
Why, is it so difficult? More than Prokofiev 3third?
I want to buy the opera Porggy and Bess, maybe you can sugest me a
recording. I know it from non-original versions, and just parts. I've got
fan of this music hearing a transcription for guitar and haspychard, played
- marvelously - by Oscar Peterson and Joe Pass, and it is a wonderfuul
recording IMO. I didn't like it with Milles Davis. I heard just once the
original version - plyed as opera - of the Summertime. My god! The melody
is the simpliest as possible, but what a difference Gershwin's original
arrange makes!!! A "Plus" that Oscar Peterson, Joe Pass, Milles Daves or
any other I ever heard singing Summertime have reached.
Best Regards,
