Porgy & Bess: 1951 Studio Recording

Album by George Gershwin

Porgy & Bess: 1951 Studio Recording is a 1951 studio recording of George Gershwin's opera Porgy and Bess. The performance reflects Gershwin's blend of classical opera and jazz-inflected American musical theatre, with orchestral and vocal treatments that emphasise blues, spiritual and symphonic elements and provides context for how the work was interpreted in mid-20th-century studio practice.
