Sdw Highlights

The ultimate American "folk opera". The Philadelphia Orchestra and conductor Marin Alsop present a live recording with highlights of Gershwin’s self-proclaimed American “Folk Opera” Porgy and Bess, together with a stellar cast and the Morgan State University Choir. Since its premiere in 1935, Porgy and Bess has been one of the most significant attempts to – following Antonin Dvořák’s famous instruction of 1893 – create American classical music inspired by Afro-American styles such as jazz, spirituals and the blues. It has also proven to be a powerful catalyst for bringing more diverse casts to the opera stage. The hard-knock life at a Charleston waterfront tenement is presented here by an outstanding cast including Lester Lynch (Porgy), Angel Blue (Bess, Clara and Serena), Chauncey Packer (Sportin’ Life) and Kevin Short (Crown, Jake).

The Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin (the name may be translated "Academy of Ancient Music" or, to avoid confusion with the British group of that name, "Academy of Early Music") is one of the leading period instrument ensembles, and probably the first from the former Soviet bloc. Its founders were young players in various East Berlin orchestras.

Symphonic Highlights from the Gospel According to Mark is a selection of some of the most poignant moments from the unique seven-hour oratorio by multi-award-winning Canadian composer Christopher Tyler Nickel.
