George Gershwin’s epochal Rhapsody in Blue brought the composer worldwide celebrity after its 1924 premiere. He was soon approached to write a concerto which was premiered the following year – the Concerto in F remains one of the most popular American works in the genre. The Second Rhapsody of 1931 is a more austere, transitional but fascinating score, while the Variations on ‘I Got Rhythm’, dedicated to his brother Ira, is one of Gershwin's most delightful works. Stellar pianist Jeffrey Siegel is joined by multiple GRAMMY-winning conductor Leonard Slatkin and the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra in these classic Vox recordings from 1974.
