Notes and Editorial Reviews
In addition to Rhapsody in Blue, George Gershwin is most frequently associated with individual songs. It is less well known that Gershwin himself arranged the most popular of these for piano. At first, they were published under the title “George Gershwin at the Keyboard” and later known as the "Songbook".
This new recording, presents 18 piano pieces from his songbook in fantastic interpretations by Michael Endres. The Rhapsody in Blue is also included and is almost more impressive in the arrangement for piano solo as it is with piano and orchestra. -
