THE CADENZAS!!!! You see it in the musicians, Maestro Marshall did an unforgetable homage to Gershwin.

[@garyreid2178]

I didn’t know that Gershwin had an extended version of Rhapsody In Blue. If it doesn’t exist, then, I am sure that George Gershwin would be proud of this performance. Bravo to the conductor/pianist!

[@marlenemeldrum7382]

One of the best Interpretations of Gerschwins Rhapsody in Blue that I have ever heard....Wonderful orchestra soloists, beautiful collabaration with orchestra and Soloist!!!! Just grand!!!

[@officialwesleyansymphonicc19]

Top man who understands his craft. Wayne Marshall, absolute Hero

[@robwilliams2265]

Great music, but did he save a baby from a burning fire or something? I wasn't aware he was a HERO. Maybe he is also a teacher since I saw a billboard last week say that all teachers are heroes. That word used to mean something

[@JuneParris-hm7lu]

Is he not from Barbados?

[@charpnatl]

I’m sitting here with happy tears in my eyes. This was the most WILD and REFRESHED version of this piece I’ve every heard and I LOVED IT!!!!✨🤩✨

[@Boggoranthius]

The improvisations (of course), the conducting, the orchestra : this is the best Rhapsody in Blue I ever heard ... if not the best ever.

[@generosovillareal5856]

Incredible . . .... !!! . . . .Bravo Maestro . .. !!! . .. Thank You. ... . . !!!

[@soritadejarnette6953]

His beautiful playing went through my body!!!!

[@dhth3884]

Fantastic rendition! Wayne tickles the Ivory and conducts with his eyes...

[@mkone6269]

Great interpretation, superb musicians one and all. First class audio and video qualities too. When I compare to Leonard Bernstein and Andre Previn versions, great as they were, Wayne Marshall's performance leaves me thinking I am hearing a whole new 'Rhapsody' - pretty exciting. Thanks

[@brndn_h]

What a fun and exciting performance, just might be my new favourite interpretation!

[@the_show_must_go_off]

Original JAZZ !! Bravo !!

[@yungao3077]

What a dazzling cadenza thrown in there! I just LOVE when the conductor sits down and totally blow your mind with an instrument.

[@ausbrum]

It was standard for soloists to provide their own cadenzas in the nineteenth century. Gershwin used the same tradition: Grofe's original orchestration was only for the orchestral musicians

[@kefabenysraal7687]

Yes, truly beautiful!

[@braidwooddesignstudio5536]

The best ever version of the Rhapsody

[@sergioernesto7]

Truly made me cry with that awesome soft jazz solo bringing back this piece and the genre to its african american roots, one of the best versions in the entire history of this piece!

[@goscott444]

😍

[@jeffatuofl]

I have fallen in love with Rhapsody in Blue all over again.

[@andrewinstre]

Wayne Marshall brought out the underlying engine of Rhapsody In Blue which was Jazz, which The African-American KNEW what it meant. It helped the blackman cope with life in racist USA. The African-American used Gospel on Saturdays and Sundays to seek God, and from Monday To Friday used Jazz to cope with everyday life in a racist America. So you can feel that Rhapsody In Blue has soul in it.!. Wayne played his heart out there! . The guy has got soul!

[@LaurentPingaultLyon]

Il adore improviser. En decembre il était ici à Lyon pour diriger l'opéra Candide de Bernstein, et il a improvisé à l'orgue sur la musique de cet opéra au cours d'un concert d'orgue qu'il donnait bénévolement pour la restauration de l'orgue Cavaillé-Coll de l'église St François de Sales.

[@hermangaddy4361]

Channeling Gershwin! This honors the Soul of Gershwin like nothing I've ever heard before honors Gershwin. Bravo!

[@yobrant]

Inspired and inspiring.

[@1001100x02]

A British pianist, conducting a French orchestra completely sent Gershwin into the stratosphere!
Wayne, you never cease to amaze me!

[@cindywalker8303]

This is truely so beautiful!

[@DarrylGrantaba]

Commanding performance of an old favorite; and my first LP as a 12 year old!

[@BillSU77]

Maestro Wayne Marshall’s rehearsed though innovative improvisation of the Rhapsody in Blue is a very eloquent, and grand piece turning the Rhapsody into an extremely expressive variation yet retaining Gershwin’s masterwork. His varied swings away from the true melody still retaining a full measure of the original is very surprising throughout and spellbinding. His incorporation of taking pieces of the Rhapsody into still more elements of a jazzed style was so on point bringing us and the members of the orchestra to look fixedly at him and listen to the marvelous interpretations of what was a very different manner in which to approach the piece. A totally enjoyable experience especially when he motioned for the orchestra to join him in Gershwin’s finalization of the music. Marshall is a master of his craft deserving great praise for this variation.

[@psijicassassin7166]

The music cannot represent modern Western civilization. Modernity should be about rejecting shameless tonal music just like Gershwin's.

[@francoisasselin4183]

Quelle belle surprise! Une version de la Rhapsody in blue rafraichie, avec des parties improvisées. Ce n'est pas un sacrilège que de changer ou rajouter des notes dans une partition dite "classique". La musique est faite pour être revisitée; les compositeurs comme Bach et bien d'autres passaient leur temps à remanier leurs propres œuvres ou arranger celles des autres (ex: le concerto pour 4 violons de Vivaldi transcrit par Bach pour 4 pianos). Et c'est une bonne chose que ce soit un afro-américain qui ait pris la chose ne main, car cette musique, c'est du jazz, c'est leur musique! Et Wayne Marshall possède manifestement tout le talent et les compétences pour ce faire. Les musiciens de l'orchestre national d'IDF ont joué le jeu, et j'ai remarqué les sourires admiratifs et approbateurs de nombreux musiciens de l'orchestre. Merci beaucoup !!!

[@brendalouisehudson7279]

Bravo Maestro Wayne Marshall. This is the best version of Rhapsody in Blue I've ever seen! "Velvet gloves, iron fist" playing! Sweet but "no nonsense', masterful, entertaining and enriching enthusiasm! You've made my day! Thank you! And thank you as well for your inspiration back in 1998 at the Bregenz Festspiele for those performances of Porgy and Bess.

[@quentinramecourt6628]

And that crazy elegance

[@abdalonim3051]

Quel talent !

[@johnellis3244]

Wow he just makes you want to listen and listen and listen he's a genius

[@kenmadell5128]

Without a doubt, Wayne's personal musical voice is equal to that of Leonard Bernstein. In addition, the entire orchestra in both ensemble balance and solos is perfection, as is the video and audio production.

[@hernancastro1542]

Fine, original, soft and modern arrenge and interpretation of the most beautifull of Gershwin.

[@jorgeabalvarez9898]

Wonderful. I've heard this song at the age of 10 years . Soft and strong at the same time. Great performance by the musicians on this classic from George Gershwin.

[@ronbryantjr1047]

Wow, Wayne Marshall. I am a fan for real now. That was one of the best renditions of Rhapsody in Blue I've heard.

[@epcotdude9441]

I have been listening to this song for years and have never heard a better version than this one. Thanks for sharing!

[@almajornales7480]

Incredible! Our Mom Eden also played this piece with the same beat "jazz". No orchestra just piano. Love this version.

[@aaronjorgefridman5662]

Personalísima versión de un "clásico" de Gershwin. Excelente Marshall como pianista y director

[@jean-jacqueskaselorganreco6879]

he is in all senses of the words a genious!

[@caleblauber1441]

WOW! Wayne Marshall. Awesomeness!

[@aerasmus2129]

I thought Maestro Wayne Marshall delivered a fantastic performance. His orchestra support him so well!

[@taroman7100]

Bravo, Take that Leonard!

[@theasmir5917]

Performances like this one always remind me that pursuing music was the right choice. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, maestro Marshall.

[@henryboy565]

Minute 12:27 what such amazing musician and amazing orchestra!! My Gosh....goosebumps!!!

[@eatyourgmos7260]

First, I had to check to make sure my video playback wasn't set at 1.25 speed. I'm not accustomed to hearing this piece played at such quick a pace, but I ended up loving it---especially Marshall's little variations here and there. Great job!

[@bmsbertrand]

impressionant

[@davesax11]

Truly a masterful performance and interpretation. George would be proud.

[@wobblyorbee279]

oh god it is always those two parts that is so unique and blends well, the gliss for the intro to reach that high beautiful note and the brass doing the melody at 0:51

[@clarification007]

I love Gershwin, and this is the best interpretation I've listen since many years! Bravo!
Superbe! Excellente qualité d'enregistrement.

[@yvonneng4875]

This is excellence personified. Rhythmic, exciting and bursting with life, and unique and very intelligent interpretation with wonderful beat changes and sense of style. Gershwin himself would have been supremely impressed! 💯❤️

[@adrijarillo1227]

Una verdadera joya!!

[@evifnoskcaj]

The 10 down votes are from armchair critics that know nothing about music, jazz, piano, technique, music composition, improvisation, jazz history, and have no class. This is one of the best musical things I have ever heard. Period. Fight me.

[@alanjmcc]

Absolutely totally agree with you here.

[@1001100x02]

100% agree. Wayne is fantastic.

[@nycviews3883]

At 5:58 I stared to sob in joy, and asked why I never head anything like this. 100% amazing

[@HeatherWatson006]

Unbelievable.

[@srothbardt]

The orchestra really boogies Grofe’s instrumental parts. Mr Marshall plays the piece like a jazzed up Mozart, adding and jiving Gershwin ‘s part with advanced cadenzas and riffs.

[@luiss9832]

Bravo!! la mejor versión de la célebre Rapsodia de Gershwin que escuché !!
