About

Although a fine composer in his own right, Robert Russell Bennett's ultimate reputation rests on the work he did as an orchestrator/arranger of other people's music, mainly for Broadway and Hollywood musicals. In 1942 he arranged the music of his good friend Gershwin. Porgy and Bess: A Symphonic Picture includes most of the best-known songs from the opera. Second Rhapsody is a 1931 concert piece for piano and orchestra. The Piano Concerto in F was written in 1925 on a commission from the conductor and director Walter Damrosch. The Concerto shows considerable development in Gershwin's compositional technique, mainly because he orchestrated the entire work himself.
