Gershwin: Second Rhapsody

[CD1] ‘Marvellously punchy and spontaneous... there is the thilling sense of risk in the whole performance which alerts the listener to the fun and colour of the Gershwin style... this collection is as good a Gershwin starter disc as any I have heard.’ Classic CD

“Ms. McDermott…an excellent chamber musician, played with robust zeal.” The New York Times on a concert performance featuring Anne Marie McDermott

“… the performances… fly off the page with verve and confidence, rhythmic precision and real style. The slow movement of the Concerto in particular is wonderfully characterised, all smokey blues with decadent solos from the muted first trumpet. Strongly recommended.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2008
