Having heard this version all the way through only once, I'm ready to say that it is THE definitive recording of Rhapsody in Blue. I'm biased, though. Fazil Say (fuh-ZEEL SIGH) gives it the same flavor I would, if I had finished the damn thing. I still feel like I let myself, and my uncle Ben, down by not performing the solo WB edition I was working on in high school. But, this guy has insane technique and soul. Ohhhhhhh yeah.

Track it down if you love Gershwin. I can guarantee you will NOT be sorry. Also check out his Paganini Variations on YouTube.
