Listen to Andre Previn's version before deciding.

Ein wunderbares Gershwin-Konzert. Frank Dupree liebt Jazz, er ist ein großartige Jazz Spezialist. 💐 Gratuliere NDR Radiophilharmonie und Dirigent Eiji Oue. 💐💐

[@NDRKlassik]

Es freut uns sehr, dass unsere Aufnahme unter der Leitung von Eiji Oue so gut gefällt :)

Lebhafte und wunderschöne Aufführung dieses jazzigen doch perfekt komponierten Konzerts mit klar artikuliertem doch elegantem Klang des technisch fehlerlosen Soloklaviers sowie farbenreichen doch perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt bezaubernd. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt lebhaft und auch beweglich. Der intelligente und geniale japanische Dirigent leitet das perfekt trainierte deutsche Orchester im veränderlichen Tempo und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Einfach faszinierend!

Ich hatte das Privileg bei diesem Konzert live dabei zu sein - Es war eines der besten Konzerte, auf denen ich je war, meine Frau und ich waren hin und weg. Sowohl vom Orchester, als auch vom Solisten her eine wunderbare Performance. Frank Dupree ist ein großartiger Pianist und mich hat sehr beeindruckt, dass sich der Solist nach seinem Auftritt mit ins Publikum gesetzt hat, um sich den Rest des Konzertes anzuhören, das zeugt von Demut und Respekt auch dem Orchester gegenüber, das habe ich so vorher noch nicht erlebt! Ladet gerne auch den restlichen Teil des Konzertes (Sowohl Candide, als auch die West-Side-Story-Suite) hoch, wir würden uns sehr freuen! 🎉

[@NDRKlassik]

Vielen herzlichen Dank, das freut uns sehr!!

[@DavidA-ps1qr]

Oh yes, from start to finish this "unconventional" concerto hits the spot. Wonderful understanding of tempi and dynamic throughout, from both soloist and orchestra. It's a masterpiece alright, and should be featured more in today's concert halls.

[@NDRKlassik]

Agreed! Thank you so much!

This has been one of my favorite concertos since a was a young teenager. My go to recording then was the early 60's Columbia recording with Andre Previn and Andre Kostelanetz. Previn proved his chops as a jazz pianist with his Andre Previn trio, so he was a natural choice for this recording. I see that Frank Dupree also had his own jazz trio and it shows in this great performance. It seems that jazz pianists instinctively understand this music. Also, a shout out to the trumpet player in the 2nd movement solo. Gershwin said when he wrote this, he envisioned a trumpet player on a hot summer night sitting on the fire escape of his NY apartment. One definitely gets that feeling here, and so well played by the trumpet soloist. Bravo to all for a great performance. By the way, you can find the Previn recording here on KZbin, kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZSvmaF4h6ZkbLc

Thank you so much!

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you, much appreciated! Love the image of the trumpet player on the fire escape - in our case: Stefan Schultz! 🎺🤩

[@chukarcory74]

Why is the trumpet being played into a bag???

[@NDRKlassik]

Gershwin writes in the score that he wants a "felt crown" for the trumpet. So in the end, basically a bowler hat made of felt. Since it looks strange, but the sound should still remain, our solo trumpeter Stefan Schultz decided on the version with the bag. 😊🎺🎶 #Gershwin #TrompeteSolo #StefanSchultz

[@jacquesmeibergen]

I have been listening to Previn’s performance. Also very virtuoze,… but a more classic performance very perfect,… but lesser emotions,… lesser jazzy,… This pianist take’s his time more dynamic’s ect!
