"Jazz I regard as an American folk music. I believe it can be made the basis of serious symphonic works of lasting value." Gershwin pursued his serious symphonic goals in two richly scored pieces first performed in 1932: the Second Rhapsody for piano and orchestra, and the Cuban Overture, inspired by a vacation in Havana and making extensive use of Latin American percussion. The following year brought two further musicals - Pardon My English and Let 'Em Eat Cake - but these failed to match his earlier successes.
Rodney Greenberg also includes
Gershwin playing his Three Preludes and modern interpretations of his music by arranger Dave Grusin and by Ella Fitzgerald , who made landmark recordings of over 50 Gershwin songs.
