Have you ever watched Silverster's New Year Countdown Concert on TV?? I have watched it every year since I was in high school. I would like to watch it in the concert hall someday. Anyway, they played "Rhapsody in Blue" this year!! When I found out they were going to play this song, I screemed with excitment, because I LOVE "Rhapsody in Blue". Rhapsody in Blue is one of the most famous "Jazz Symphonic" pieces, and it composed by George Gershwin. He also composed "An American in Paris" and famous opera "Pogry and Bess". The famous song "Summertime" is from that Opera. Rhapsody in blue was composed when the world was in economic crisis. Since economic crisis is comming to us now, the music choice was understandable. However, in countdown concert, the orchestra and the solo pianist played "Rhapsody in Blue" horribly. I was so dissapointed. On New Year day, I went Youtube to listened to better play to forget yesterday horriableness. I put "Rhapsody in Blue" Fantasia version. This one play nice and video itself is interesting.
