Title: Back to the Source
Review: This disc makes an excellent companion for conductor Steven Richman's disc of Gershwin tunes on Harmonia Mundi. It's a joy to hear these pieces in the original arrangements for the Paul Whiteman Orchestra, and the renditions by the Harmonie Ensemble with venerable pianist Lincoln Mayorga and equally venerable saxophonist Al Gallodoro are marvelous. One reviewer has complained about heavy breathing accompaniment by Richman, but for whatever reason I don't myself notice it, perhaps being too enthralled by the performances. Though the music of Ferde Grofe takes up most of the disc, for me the star is Gershwin's infrequently heard Second Rhapsody, twelve minutes of pure delight. You can argue that Grofe's Mississippi and Grand Canyon Suites may have been recorded more powerfully elsewhere, but hearing them closer to their original roots is very special, and this disc is highly recommended.
