Gershwin / Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra / Langree – An American in Paris [2 CD]

Description

The newest release from the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Louis Langre illustrates music transcending borders and composers drawing inspiration from the world around. The third CSO album with Langre features the iconic American composer George Gershwin’s take on bustling Paris, the French composer Edgard Varse’s take on New York’s soundscape, and Igor Stravinsky composing the same work across two continents. Recorded at Cincinnati Music Hall, the release marks the highly anticipated world premiere recording of the new critical edition of Gershwin’s An American in Paris, and also showcases the virtuosity and sound of the CSO through the original and rarely performed version of Edgard Varse’s epic Amriques with 147 musicians, and Stravinsky’s Symphony in C.
