SOUNDING THE CENTURY

"From any sound critical standpoint, labels mean nothing at all. Good music is good music, even if you call it 'oysters'."
With these words, Gershwin famously rebuked a critic who had ticked him off for putting elements of jazz into his Piano Concerto in 1925. Rodney Greenberg introduces a performance by Andre Previn. Plus
Lady, Be Good!, the first in a string of successful shows written by Gershwin in collaboration with his lyricist brother Ira. Excerpts from the musical include The Man I Love, which was thrown out of this show and two later ones, and there are memorable tunes from other
Gershwin revues of the twenties.
