Outstanding arrangement by the conductor

[@williamrosen4971]

Takes me back to my childhood and that 'special place' in my mind and heart. Fantastic!

[@gabiryan8640]

This seriously needs more views! Well done!!!

[@BronxBornBroad]

Beautiful! I enjoyed this very much!

[@draeke8080]

Absolutely beautiful, thank you :)

[@jonathanclarke5545]

One of the best pieces we did whilst I was with HKPO.

[@hamiltoncarvalho2383]

Quite a surprising rendition for an Asian orchestra. They actually bit the spirit of the American symphonic jazz and Gershwin s talent.

[@andrewherrera9651]

A great arrangement of a Gershwin Masterpiece.

[@omegamale7880]

This is not the Porgy and Bess Symphonic Picture that was arranged by Robert Russell Bennett but rather some other arrangement. Not exactly, anyway, although many of the elements are the same.

[@RendHeaven]

The chord progression at 11:53 is so cool!

[@draeke8080]

Awesome

THE XYLOPHONE PLAYER-THE BEST!

[@StanGay]

Well done - even got the nuance of that Americanism of Gershwin. But did you leave out some of the Robert Russell Bennett orchestration? In that score there is a banjo and a short sax solo.

[@richardherbst488]

Egad! The banjo is a classy touch. A couple of segments shied away from Gershwin's swing, but just a little.

[@HuangShang010]

This beginning is a good one, lots of orchestra play fast but a mess.

[@draeke8080]

You are awesome ma'am, I wish I could my guys as hard! And I love your last movement! =)

[@DavideDevoti]

The conductor is Xian Zhang ?

[@HuangShang010]

right

[@richardherbst488]

Beautiful! Rivals Andrea Lucchi, beats Leonard Bernstein.
