If you’re a classical music lover with even a passing affection for Gershwin, this is one of those “drop everything and listen” albums.

Earl Wild, Arthur Fiedler, and the Boston Pops joined forces here in a match that could only be described as electric-and RCA’s Living Stereo engineers captured it all with a warmth and immediacy that still feels astonishing today.

The performances are world-class.

Earl Wild was the American virtuoso who understood Gershwin not just as a crowd-pleaser, but as a serious composer.

His piano sparkles in the Concerto in F-by turns jazzy, sultry, and thunderously grand. Arthur Fiedler, at the height of his long reign with the Boston Pops, provides the perfect foil: a conductor who knew how to give Gershwin’s music its swing and sparkle without ever losing its classical backbone.

Together, they make Gershwin sound both sophisticated and wildly alive.

Then there’s the sound.

This is RCA Living Stereo at its finest — lush but not bloated, with Wild’s piano given a front-and-centre clarity that makes you feel like you’re seated at Symphony Hall.

The rhythmic drive of “I Got Rhythm” Variations, the sultry sway of the Cuban Overture, and the grandeur of the Concerto all come across with jaw-dropping presence.

It’s no wonder collectors and casual fans alike have called this one of the most thrilling of the entire Living Stereo series.

If you want to hear Gershwin played with equal parts virtuosity, joy, and sonic splendour — this is the pressing you reach for.

Analogue Productions

Analogue Productions It was in 1992 that Acoustic Sounds owner Chad Kassem reissued his first Analogue Productions title, Virgil Thompson's The Plow That Broke The Plains, originally on Vanguard. Analogue Productions began as a vehicle for Kassem to license his favorite all-time recordings and reissue them as remastered and as a superior version to the original release. Since its inception AP has reissued hundreds of titles, ranging from classical to folk, pop, rock, blues and jazz. Included in the many highlights of Analogue Productions' history are the Fantasy 45 Jazz Reissues, the Blue Note Reissues, and premium box sets of the music of such legendary acts as The Doors, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Nat "King" Cole and Norah Jones. True to its name, Analogue Productions works with the original analogue master tapes - more than any other reissue label! The result is superior sound - richer, warmer and more lifelike, than digital.
