Free Music Notes for Levant Plays Gershwin
Free Music Review: Levant had better recordings!!!!
Hit: 4 Stars
The ultimite recording of Rhapsody in Blue was a recording Paul Whiteman did with Oscar Levant for Columbia in the early 40's. That recording was in Mono and has long been unavailible appearing only once on LP. On the recording for sale here, the orchestra cannot keep pace with Levant! It's sad.Levant was the most underrated romantic pianist of the 20th century. Listen to some of his other recordings! I recommend this recording because the Whitman / Levant recordings are not around. Listen to the little bits of music in the movie Rhapsody in Blue. Big difference from what you hear here!
Free Music Review: Sound Quality Holds Back Levant the Genius
Hit: 2 Stars
No one on earth can play like Levant. The world is a much sadder place without this wonderful talent. Too bad the producers of this recording buried him with poor sound quality. Yes, I played the CD in various players, from the cheapest boomboxes to expensive sets. Still sounded muffled and no dynamics were evident. Really inhibited this great man's chops. Gershwin and Levant deserve better mastering and recording, emmis...Free Music Review: Timeless
Hit: 5 Stars
I had this item on 8 track and cassette (to which I still listen), just recently decided to see if it was on CD, because I purchased other musicians playing it and there is no comparison. No one plays Gershwin like Oscar Levant. It doesn't matter how many times I hear Concerto in F, it never fails to give me goosebumps. I recommend this CD highlyFree Music Review: Levant Plays Gershwin
Hit: 5 Stars
In addition to the usual pieces, this contains the infrequently performed Gershwin Preludes. I never particularly cared for the Concerto in F until I heard Levant's version. This is definitely now a favorite.Free Music Review: Excellent!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an excellent cd. Levant plays Gershwin like no other.If you like Gerswhin, buy it; you won't be sorry.
