¡Gershwin: Porgy And Bess
¡Nikolaus Harnoncourt (conductor)
Description
[Machine Translation] The second release in celebration of Arnoncourt's 80th birthday. This is the complete recording of Gershwin's masterpiece and only opera "Porgy and Bess". The combination of Arnoncourt and Gershwin is quite an unexpected one, but for Arnoncourt, "Porgy and Bess" was the opera he loved most since he became familiar with its melody through sheet music and records at his parents' house when he was a child, and he had dreamed of conducting it himself for many years. I have dreamed of conducting it for many years. This is a live recording of the first concert performance of this opera at the Stilialte Festival in the summer of 2009, when Arnoncourt celebrated his 80th birthday. The singers are all black, from J. Lemlau, who sings Porgy, to the great R. Alexander, who sings Maria. The score is based on Arnoncourt's original version of Gershwin's 1935 premiere. The third act, "Symphonie des noises," is also performed. Recordings: June 29, July 1, 3, 5 & 7, 2009, live recordings of concert performances at the Helmut-Liszt-Halle, Graz (2009 Stilialte Music Festival).
