      Composer: George Gershwin

      Ensemble: Blue Chamber Quartet


The Blue Chamber Quartet recording George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue could just have easily come at the beginning of their career, as the ensemble, founded 2005, and Gershwin’s compositions from 1923/24 share a similar approach: the connection between classical music in the broadest sense with elements of jazz. + This can also be seen in the other works on this recording, particularly those of Leonard Bernstein, Mark Glentworth and Allen Shawn, that the Blue Chamber Quartet play in their very own way. “… an ear-opening classical crossover quartet.” (Audiophile Audition – USA)
