New Zealand Symphony Orchestra & James Judd - Gershwin: An American in Paris & Porgy and Bess Suite (2014) [Hi-Res]

Conductor James Judd draws a remarkably eloquent and poignant sense from his musicians. If you’ve ever been in love, this will surely speak to your heart.

'The New Zealanders cope splendidly with the Gershwin idiom - gone are the embarrassing days when orchestras couldn't swing - and bring a catchy rhythmic zip both to An American in Paris and the Cuban Overture...The recording is vivid.' (Peter Dickinson, Gramophone)
