Porgy and Bess, George Gershwin’s only opera, the masterwork of American music theatre, had to fight hard on its way to its German audience as it was ostracised as “nigger music” in the Third Reich. The blockage was only broken by the legendary production by Robert Breen which was toured first in the US and then across Europe from 1952 until 1955. The present recording documents the guest performance of the ensemble at the Berliner Festwochen 1952.more

"This a sensational rediscovery of a recording that reveals the musical and dramatic intensity of a work that Gershwin considered his finest composition. This atmospheric release is an indispensable addition to the discography of a thrilling masterpiece." (new-classics)
