Marshall: Gershwin a Bernstein (O)

The versatile British musician Wayne Marshall is internationally recognized both for the conductor's desk and the piano or organ keys. The Prague audience certainly remembers him from the great concert performance of Gershwin's opera Porgy and Bess in one of the seasons of radio symphonists. He is now returning with Bernstein's Old Testament Symphony from 1944 and with other music George Gershwin. He was the first to really brilliantly intertwined African-American music with the European Opera-actually exactly according to Antonín Dvořák, who during his pedagogical work in New York in 1892, just a quarter of a century after the abolition of slavery in the US, said that the original US compositional school should become. Gershwin released his first hit at eighteen and three years later he played his first feature comedy on Broadway. In 1924, he broke into the concert events fully in blue , which unexpectedly opened the possibilities of new combining two worlds - elements of jazz and classical music. New intonation and rhythms of black jazz wanted to associate with the world of classical music repeatedly. Compositions like piano concert, the second rapssus and Cuban overture did, but the success of the rhapsody in blue after all. Nor did it be a jazz -influenced symphonic poem American in Paris, using an orchestra with Celesta, Saxophones and Automobile Klakson.
