Film historians often speak of the ‘Golden Age of Hollywood’ – and, of course, they are right to do so. Whilst the art of film making can truly be said to have dawned at the beginning of the 20th-century, the lack of sound-on-film was only solved about 30 years later – although, even in the silent era, the juxtaposition of music and film was well understood and had led to an entire class of musicians whose main employment came through playing in cinema orchestras – offering suitable accompaniment to the silent screen action.Such was the demand, driven by the development of sound-on-film, that Hollywood (a Los Angeles suburb chosen for its equable year-round climate) remained a veritable factory of film-making. With the ‘talkies’ came music-on-film, and many composers and musicians found their gifts in great demand – the world over, and not just in California.

For the time being, they seek different solutions.

Info for Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue - Strike Up the Band: Overture - Promenade - Catfish Row (Remaster 2015)
George Gershwin fired up the New York music scene with his mélange of alluring tunes and refinement of the jazz vibe. His Strike up the Band Overture opened a flashy broadway hit and, inspired by a train ride, the composer heard his masterpiece Rhapsody in Blue as a “musical kaleidoscope of America”. Promenade was reconstructed from a 1937 film score, and Catfish Row was Gershwin’s concert suite from the opera Porgy and Bess. Acclaimed as a “bold, gutsy performance with plenty of pizzazz” and with “impressive brilliance and depth”.
