Samuel Goldwyn - Porgy And Bess An Original Sound Track Recording

Review by Снежана Пыкалова

Porgy and Bess, the original soundtrack recording by Samuel Goldwyn, is a classic jazz album that captures the spirit of George Gershwin's opera. The album features some of the most iconic songs from the opera, including "Summertime," "I Got Plenty o' Nuttin'," and "Bess, You Is My Woman Now."

The album is a masterful collaboration between the opera's composer, George Gershwin, and the conductor, Andre Kostelanetz. The arrangements are lush and beautiful, and the performances by the cast are exceptional. The album is a must-have for any jazz or opera lover.

The standout performances on the album include Anne Brown's rendition of "Summertime," which is hauntingly beautiful, and Todd Duncan's performance of "I Got Plenty o' Nuttin'," which is full of energy and joy. The duet between Duncan and Brown on "Bess, You Is My Woman Now" is also a highlight of the album.

Summary by Снежана Пыкалова

The album is a testament to the enduring popularity of Porgy and Bess, and its influence on American music. The original soundtrack recording by Samuel Goldwyn is a timeless classic that should be in every music lover's collection.
