Fazıl Say breathes vibrant new life into George Gershwin’s iconic works on Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue, Porgy & Bess arrangements. This stunning release features Say’s dazzling interpretation of “Rhapsody in Blue” alongside his imaginative arrangements of selections from Porgy and Bess – bringing together classical finesse and jazz-infused flair.
Recorded with brilliance and performed with palpable energy, Say’s version of “Rhapsody in Blue” captures the rhythmic vitality and sweeping romance that made it a cornerstone of 20th-century American music. His technique is both precise and expressive, making every glissando sparkle and each bluesy turn feel deliciously alive.
The album truly comes into its own with Say’s arrangements of Porgy and Bess classics like “Summertime,” “It Ain’t Necessarily So,” and “I Got Plenty o’ Nuttin’.” These pieces blend operatic lyricism with jazz grooves, reimagined through Say’s distinct pianistic lens. He doesn’t just play Gershwin—he converses with him.
Ideal for fans of both classical and jazz traditions, this record is a stylish, boundary-pushing tribute that feels fresh yet rooted in reverence. Fazıl Say’s deep musicality and bold creativity make this a must-have pressing for collectors and newcomers alike.
