Hit: 4 Stars
There is little doubt that there are some fine performances on this recording, and it is worth purchasing just to hear Ms. Price's amazing take on Bess' arias. William Warfield also gives an amazing performance as Porgy. The problem is Skitch Henderson's pacing. He conducts these "highlights" as if on speed. "I Loves you Porgy" is so fast that the lyric is almost lost and it starts to sound like a cha-cha.
