Clarinet and trumpet certainly set [Rhapsody in Blue] off in fine style...But the best is Thibaudet's diamond-bright playing, relaxed and joyful in a way that brushes vexed questions of authenticity...

Clarinet and trumpet certainly set [Rhapsody in Blue] off in fine style...But the best is Thibaudet's diamond-bright playing, relaxed and joyful in a way that brushes vexed questions of authenticity aside.

Though an interesting alternative rather than a replacement - Gershwin, by and large, got it right - this enjoyable performance...is currently the finest recording of Grofé's version.
