Second Rhapsody for Piano and Orchestra

[@brucerobbins6528]

Also called "Rhapsody in Rivets". I went to Temple and am very proud, and love this great performance!!!

[@not2tees]

Bravo, William, Andreas, and the Temple U. Symphony Orchestra! That was the best!

[@danielweinstein5252]

Gorgeous, frenetic, delightful and de-lucious.

Excellent Performance and great piano playing. I really enjoyed it. I always loved Gershwin's Music. Thanks. Out.i

[@viktor87roma]

Wonderful! Thank you!

[@federicozimerman8167]

Masterpiece. Sounds like a musical self portrait and if so, the most accurate of them all for Gershwin. It has everything and the performance is very good! It is a shame the brass instruments are not zoomed in during the performance.

I can almost hear the skyscrapers being built in NYC.

Excellent until 14:00 where both pianist and conductor are lost.

[@daveluttinen2547]

Riff. Hey, one has to keep playing - and most people won't really care. That would be my personal nightmare. No need to take a hammer to one's fingers! Still, this was a lot of fun for me to hear today.

Originally part of a film score.

13:38…

[@writerdudesjs]

Oh my gosh, what happened at 13:45? I think the pianist was playing in the wrong key or something.

[@hartzell7407]

Yep, he really lost his way there--and he never got back on track. Poor guy--it had to be embarrassing. Even before that, he was dragging the figures. Contrast that with Levant's aggressive drive on this piece.

[@michaelcoolen8716]

He got lost and waited until he could get back in. Improvised stuff.

[@jeremiahnoar7504]

Wish I got to hear it in person. Nearly flawless. A horn played the wrong note by half a step in the phrasing around 10:18 but other than that. It was fantastic!

[@Kiarinadia]

Horners are like that most of the time even in great orchestras. They are well known for that - it is the way of the instrument which is hard to pinpoint the pitch...

[@writerdudesjs]

What happened at 5:54? Seems like the pianist forgot to play his part.

[@hartzell7407]

For those who are familiar with this work, it was a strange void, but probably went unnoticed to those who aren't. At least it wasn't as bad as the 13:45 debacle...
