Andre Previn - plays Gershwin like Gershwin. His rendition of Gershwins No 2 on Deutsche Grammar phone is the best.

What a talented fellow...he could do it all.

Andre' E' UN GENIO DELLA MUSICA !

[Tonysmithmusic]

he was also an amazing jazz pianist and conductor. incredible.

[victorgrasscourt]

Sublime. Wonderful performance by Previn.

[flylooper]

Well. that one of the more chopped up versions of the R-I-B! Ugh! But I came hear to remember. I was a very young fan of a very young Andre Previn. He was a huge talent.

Great rendition by Previn. Although I must admit I prefer Gershwin's Concerto in F. Have a Columbia LP of Prevn and Kostalentz doing the Rhaosody and Concerto. Always makes a nice pairing.

[SuperScar]

The best performance of this other than Oscar Levant

[ChrisM]

As Eric would say, all the right notes, not necessarily in the right order.

If you’ve not heard Khatia Buniatishvili do it, I recommend you treat yourself.

Superb! I love Andre in all his guises. But my favourite rendition of this piece is by Leonard Bernstein playing it whilst conducting from the piano. Absolutely unbelievable. Look it up on YouTube. My favourite pianist of modern times is Lang Lang who, I think, is a genius, but even his rendition doesn’t come close to Bernstein’s who was a genius. By the way, Andre played here a shortened version of the classic. I don’t like that, sorry!

Conductor/Orchestra? Looks like Julius Rudel.

[JohnC-errg]

How did the intro it sounded more like Rita Moreno or Suzanne Plushette then Diahn Carrol?
