George Gershwin Bücher

Mit »Rhapsody in Blue« hat der auf Musicals spezialisierte Broadwaykomponist George Gershwin mit traditionellen Klängen gebrochen und spielerisch Blues, Jazz und klassische Musik ineinanderfließen lassen. Zur Uraufführung am 12. Februar 1924 in New York spielte er das in lediglich fünf Wochen komponiert Stück am Klavier selbst, denn es gab keine vollständige Partitur. George und sein Bruder Ira Gershwin hatten den Konzertabend als »Ein Experiment in moderner Musik« ankündigen lassen. Anwesende Komponisten wie Igor Strawinsky und Sergei Rachmaninow waren begeistert. Die Lebensgeschichte von George Gershwin (1898–1937) Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts in Brooklyn/New York erzählt Bert Alexander Petzold erstmals für Kinder ab fünf Jahren. Die international bekannte, polnische Illustratorin Katarzyna Surman-Pusz lässt uns in den musikalischen Schmelztiegel New York mittels detailreicher und moderner Illustrationen eintauchen. Dem Buch liegt eine CD mit einer inszenierten Lesung mit Luca Zamperoni sowie mit Geräuschen und der ungekürzten Originalmusik der »Rhapsody in Blue« bei. Der Titel erscheint innerhalb der Serie »Große Klassik kinderleicht. DIE ZEIT-Edition«.
