St. Louis Symphony Orchestra // Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue brought the composer worldwide celebrity after its 1924 premiere. He was soon approached to write a concerto which was premiered the following year - the Concerto in F remains one of the most popular American works in the genre. The Second Rhapsody of 1931 is a more austere, transitional but fascinating score, while the Variations on 'I Got Rhythm', dedicated to his brother Ira, is one of Gershwin's most delightful works.
