His rendition of the Prelude #2 seems perfect, and I love his Rhapsody and Summertime Variations. It features the solo piano version of Rhapsody In Blue, the Three Preludes, and Constantini’s own variations on Gershwin’s “Summertime” from Porgy and Bess. This album is a salute to Gershwin and Piazzola. He is equally adept as a composer, pianist, and bandonleonist. Let’s Dive InĬlaudio Constantini was born and raised in Lima, Peru, and lives in Spain. Throughout the 1920’s and 1930’s Gershwin tunes were mainstays in Broadway musicals and movies, and are still part of the “Great American Songbook”. George was able to write amazing tunes, and Ira could write lyrics for those songs as fast as he got them. George Gershwin then partnered with his older brother, Ira, to begin a song writing career that still makes him one of America’s most beloved composers. He wrote songs but had no success until Al Jolson picked up his song, “Swanee,” a huge hit in 1919. He was given piano lessons and studied the classics. He dropped out of school at 15 and became a “Tin-Pan Alley” song-plugger. He amazed his parents by being able to play songs on the piano with no training. George Gershwin was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1898. Discovering those recordings made me think it would be a good time to highlight some of Gershwin’s music. There are many recordings of the Second Prelude now, including arrangements for other instruments. I was surprised to find five on Native DSD. The piano I played when I assaulted Gershwin et al nearly 70 years ago. It wasn’t long before I literally “grew” into the piece, and I played it often.Ī monument only in my brain. 2 to learn. My hands were a bit small for one of the chords, so I had to cheat that– it did alter the Gershwin rhythm a bit. Once upon a time, about 27 years after Gershwin first introduced his Three Preludes for Solo Piano, my piano teacher gave me Prelude No. Use coupon: GERSHWIN for 20% OFF the DSD Albums below!
