George Gershwin's 1935 opera is a compendium of standards: Summertime, It Ain't Necessarily So, I Got Plenty o' Nuttin' and I Loves You Porgy among them.

This production, the first recorded specially for television, is based on Trevor Nunn's acclaimed 1986 Glyndebourne staging, which transferred to Covent Garden in 1992 and was immediately moved to the huge Shepperton Studios stage.

Willard White and Cynthia Haymon star in the title roles, and the London Philharmonic is conducted by Simon Rattle on a soundtrack that uses the commercially-available EMI recording.
