Work: Porgy and Bess: A Symphonic Picture (arr. Robert Russell Bennett)

Works by Crumb, Ruggles, Barber and Gershwin offer four distinct ideas of what American music can sound like in Barbara Hannigan’s explorative Cleveland Orchestra program.

From the streets of New York to America’s southern states, Daniele Rustioni with the Ulster Orchestra present an all American evening, with some fine playing. 

Celebration and infectious joy in Bennett and Gershwin, with silky textures and delicate precision in Ravel from John Wilson and the LSO.
