 A famous -- and tremendous -- Porgy and Bess no Gershwin lover should miss What a surprise, and what a performance! A famous evening in the theatre has unexpectedly surfaced on CD. It captures not only Leontyne Price's youthful, rending Bess and William Warfield's grizzled Porgy; the whole enterprise flies with a sense of great drama caught on the wing. And for a touch more stardust, there's the great Cab Calloway as Sportin' Life. -- Gramophone [7/2008] |
