¡John Mauceri (conductor), Nashville Symphony Orchestra & Chrous
Description
[Machine Translation] Porgy and Bess, the opera known for the famous song "Summertime," was first performed at the Alvin Theatre in New York City in 1935. Gershwin made extensive cuts and edits to the premiere of Porgy and Bess, which is now widely known as the revised version of Porgy and Bess. The version of "Porgy and Bess" that is widely known today is the revised version, but here, for the first time, is the complete recording of the original 1935 production! Gershwin himself is said to have recommended this version. The roles of Porgy and Bess are sung by Alvey Powell and Marguerite Mallett, two of Gershwin's most famous singers, who have performed at La Scala and the New York City Opera, as well as in other productions. Alvey Powell and Marquita Lister, and Nicole Cabell, a promising new soprano making her Decca debut in 2006, as Clara in "Summertime. Includes bilingual lyrics. Recorded February and March 2006
