Die Musik aus dem zeitlosen Meisterwerk Porgy und Bess® fasziniert seit Generationen. Seltsamerweise haben die Kritiker bei ihrer Premiere eine gemischte Reaktion gezeigt: Einige nennen sie das Pionierwerk eines neuen Genres der Volksoper, andere verurteilen sie nur als eine Folge von Hitsongs. Glücklicherweise hat sich die Zeit ihren Platz in der Geschichte gesichert. James Barnes hat geschickt eine wunderbare Partitur von 'I Got Plenty O' Nuttin', 'It Ain't Necessarily So,' 'Summertime,' 'Crab Man,' und 'Bess, You Is My Woman Now' erstellt. Das ist Gershwin in seiner besten Form! (8:30)

The music from the timeless masterwork Porgy and Bess® has fascinated generation after generation. Oddly enough, at its premiere the critics presented mixed reaction: some calling it the pioneering work of a new folk-opera genre, and others condemning it as merely a succession of hit songs. Fortunately, time has secured its place in history. James Barnes has skillfully crafted a wonderful scoring of 'I Got Plenty O' Nuttin',' 'It Ain't Necessarily So,' 'Summertime,' 'Crab Man,' and 'Bess, You Is My Woman Now.' This is Gershwin at his best! (8:30)
