George Gershwin’s music combines musical styles heard in the United States at the beginning of this century such as jazz and blues, with aspects of European classical music. Gershwin’s breakthrough came in 1924 with Rhapsody in Blue. Following several versions of this piece Gershwin made what is probably the best known arrangement - for piano and symphony orchestra. Takahashi has created a further new and exciting version for wind orchestra. In Rhapsody in Blue is George Gershwins veelzijdigheid duidelijk te horen: hij laat ritmes en harmonieën uit de Amerikaanse jazz en blues samensmelten met een ‘klassiekere’ stijl die doet denken aan de negentiende-eeuwse Europesepianoconcerten. Een geweldig werk voor iedere gevorderde pianist.Die weltberühmte Rhapsody in Blue von George Gershwin in einer hervorragenden Transkription für Blasorchester von Tohru Takahashi. Ein guter Pianist und ein sehr gutes Blasorchester sind die Zutaten, die es braucht, um mit diesem Stück das Publikum zu begeistern.
