George Gershwin’s original music will be brought back |
“Rhapsody in blue” is considered as one the greatest music piece in American classical music and it is most played piece of American classical music. For past 15 years several musicians and soloist like Michael Kim, Jeffery Siegel and Norman Krieger played “Rhapsody in blue” for Florida Orchestra.
This piece was originally composed by George Gershwin and played by him in 1924 premiere. Recently, Florida Orchestra has come up with an excellent and ambitious idea to present the original music created by Gershwin with the help of latest technology and acoustic science. Gershwin died in 1937. So his exact creation can not be featured again, but Florida Orchestra has taken the initiative to present closest approximation of his performance on stage now. According to George Letterst, the music technologist behind this idea, this on stage performance will be a rare posthumous appearance ofGeorge Gershwin.
