Additional Details

Other Works:

For Columbia Masterworks, he conducted what was then the most complete version of Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess" on records, a 3-LP, 129 minute version released in 1951, which restored much of the music that had been turned into spoken dialogue in the 1942 revival. This album became the standard "complete" version of the opera until 1976, when the complete work was finally recorded in stereo. The 1951 "Porgy and Bess" has recently been reissued and remastered by Sony Masterworks on CD, and despite its drastically shortened running time, is still considered a classic, and a pioneer recording in its use of sound effects to simulate a stage performance. (This was something that was not often done back then in recordings of operas.) more
