Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue

Makato Ozone delivers his “thrilling, unabashedly personal rendition” (New York Times) of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue—a jazzy, kaleidoscopic tribute to the kinetic energy of America’s cities in the 1920s. And composed the same year as the Gershwin, Bartók’s Miraculous Mandarin channels the turmoil of post–World War I Europe in a scandalous tale of sex, violence, and the supernatural.
