Classical Music II

Here's what I have Gershwin-wise.

I have a disc called "Oscar Levant plays Gershwin"...and it includes the Piano Concerto in F, both Rhapsodies, IGR Variations, and three solo piano preludes.

The sound is pretty...dense, but I really love both rhapsodies, and I don't know why No.2 isn't more famous!

I have heard the Cuban Overture and the symphonic poem An American in Paris, when I checked out a cd from the library...but I didn't keep it out long enough to get familiar with the music.

May as well talk about the other American Music I own....

I have the Naxos disc of Copland's three famous ballets, I have Paul Creston's first three symphonies, I have a great three-disc collection of Bernstein's Best-Of, and I have a copied disc of Ive's First and Fourth Symphonies. And then I have a disc of Ferde Grofe's Grand Canyon, Niagra Falls, and Mississippi River suites.

I probably have more...but I'm wracking my brain now...
