From Gershwin's Time The Original Sounds of George Gershwin 1998 marks the 100th Anniversary of the birth of George Gershwin. As a special tribute during this centenary year, Sony Classical is exploring the genius of the most-performed American composer of this century. We have mined our extensive vaults and unearthed recordings and performances we are proud to present in this special Masterworks Heritage release featuring twenty-eight of Gershwin's songs for Broadway shows and Hollywood films, and select classical scores in recordings made at the time of their firsthearing, often by artists who premiered them. This collection will provide unique insight into the "original" sound of Gershwin as heard when these songs were new and Gershwin's popularity was immense, not least as a performer. In that role Gershwin himself is heard as pianist in four songs from his Oh, Kay!; electric recordings dating from 1926; and his "Three Preludes" and the "Andante" from the Rhapsody in Blue recorded two years later. Going back to original source materials, lacquer discs, metal parts and rare original shellac pressings, Sony Classical's engineers have coaxed sound out of the grooves that many would have not thought possible. Recordings from as far back as 1920 leap across the decades with a vibrancy that will surprise even the most skeptical of audiophiles. Many of these recordings have not been available for over sixty-five years and are making their compact disc debut here.

About The Hoya Friday, January 24, 2003 Ford’s Theatre Highlights Splendid ‘Gershwin Alone’ By Nicole Diamant Hoya Staff Writer For a limited time only, you have the privilege of spending an intimate evening with one of America’s greatest pop songwriters — George Gershwin. Ford’s Theater is currently hosting the one-man show, “George Gershwin Alone,” played flawlessly and passionately by Hershey Felder. Felder, who excels at multitasking as singer, actor, pianist, and writer, engages his audience in a three-fold love affair: that of Felder for Gershwin, of Gershwin for his music and of America for the man and his musical legacy. The entire show, though only 90 minutes in length, is riveting in its honest and thoughtful portrayal of one of the greatest musicians housed in our American’s consciousness. Felder guides the audience through these events of Gershwin’s life, interspersing it with his musical accomplishments. He mimics Al Jolsen singing Swanee, George’s first big hit, and also Ethel Merman’s nasal high notes. From the “fake” lyrics to I Got Rhythm, to his decision of changing the key in Swanee from minor to major, Felder, as Gershwin, demonstrates how the musician may have written his most famous pieces and in turn, gives the audience a window into the thinking process of this musical genius. Felder is humorous when appropriate: quoting Rhapsody in Blue in the last few bars of I Got Rhythm, imitating George’s father’s pronunciation of Fascinatin’ Rhythm as “fashion on the river.” Overall, his portrayal is an utterly honest look at a man who made little time for anything else in his life but his musical vision.

Politicians, artists, entertainers, and musicians gathered to mourn what was perhaps the greatest blow to American music in history: the unexpected and untimely death of George Gershwin at 38. Whether or not Gershwin was the greatest American composer will always be debated, but, beyond doubt, he was a most quintessential American composer. An unlikely musical genius, he was a high-school dropout who, by his own admission, was far more interested in roller skating and cutting school - and making fun of kids who played instruments - than in books or music. George Gershwin's story is the stuff of American romantic folklore. Unlikely Beginnings He was Morris and Rose Gershwin's second son, born in Brooklyn, New York, September 26, 1898. As a child George was usually in some kind of trouble. He despised reading and studying and instead spent his time outdoors playing and getting into fights. His family purchased a second-hand piano for elder son Ira when George was 12 years old, but it was George, not Ira, who began playing songs by ear immediately, prompting the family to invest in lessons.

Admission to the symposium is by invitation only, but the press is invited to attend and cover the event. The program will include performances, talks, and panel discussions and will bring together a wide range of people actively working with and interested in the cultural milieu of the Gershwins. There will be performances of works by composers who were close to and collaborators with George and Ira Gershwin, as well as performances of the Gershwins' words and music, including some unpublished material. Program participants include William Bolcom and Joan Morris, Anne Brown, Angie Dickinson, Michael Feinstein, Kitty Carlisle Hart, Ned Rorem, Michael Tilson Thomas, and historians Gerald Bordman, Charles Hamm, Edward Jablonski, Robert Kimball, and Lawrence Stewart. The full schedule for the symposium is below. The Gershwin Collection at the Library of Congress is the world's preeminent resource for the documentary legacy of George and Ira Gershwin. The continually growing Gershwin Collection contains a wealth of materials that provide insight into the brothers' careers and personalities: manuscript and printed music, lyric sheets and librettos, personal and business correspondence, photographs, paintings and drawings, scrapbooks, contracts, royalty statements, programs, posters, the drafts and printer's galleys of Ira's Lyrics on Several Occasions, scripts for radio broadcasts, other biographical writings and the Congressional Gold Medals that honor the Gershwin brothers and their contribution to American life and culture. The George and Ira Gershwin Room will open to the public on March 17 with the exhibition "Here to Stay: The Legacy of George and Ira Gershwin." It is in the northwest corridor of the ground floor of the Thomas Jefferson Building, across from the Coolidge Auditorium. It will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Saturday.

Porgy and Bess will be featured for the first few months of the exhibition, with photographs, musical manuscripts, a stage diagram and libretto related to the show.
