Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue (Re-Broadcast)
Sticky Notes: The Classical Music Podcast - Ein Podcast von Joshua Weilerstein - Donnerstags
Very few pieces of classical music are as iconic as George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, so this week we're taking a look back at one of my favorite episodes! We'll talk about the amazing circumstances of the piece's premier, the difficulties of crossing the bridge between jazz and classical music, and of course, the music itself. Is this classical music? Or is it jazz? Gershwin finds his own answers to that question in one of the most enjoyable pieces in all of classical music.
