For fifteen years I have taken this recording of "An American In Paris" with me to test sound systems. Full-bodied, great range and depth, achingly beautiful.
An Unquestionably Good PerformanceReviewed by Daniel Brockman, 2000-08-18
While Leonard Bernstein and the NY Phil did a "Rhapsody" with more swagger, Kunzel and the Cincinnati Sym Orch have done it with more elegance. I have owned this recording for many years and I listen to it often. It is a fine work.
Not as expectedReviewed by dbphoenix, 2000-08-18
Though I'm glad music fan enjoyed this disc, and while List is excellent as always and the Cincinnati is up to the task, the Rhapsody in Blue is done with full orchestra, not Jazz Ensemble. Anyone looking forward to the original and rarely heard original jazz version will be disappointed to hear yet another full though not necessarily overblown orchestral rendering.
I heard it on public radio and rushed home to order it!Reviewed by Anonymous, 1999-04-10
I heard the Cincinnati Jazz Ensemble of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra version on Public Radio in Mississippi on my way home from work. As soon as I got in the door, I went to amazon.com to look for the title and order. I think it's the best arrangement and recording of "Rhapsody in Blue" I've ever heard. I loved it!!
