Gershwin Classic: Rhapsody in Blue

George Gershwin’s famous “Rhapsody in Blue” was written in 1924 and has since become one of the most recognizable American compositions. It was recently performed at the 50th Grammy Awards. Here’s a classic clip from a 1976 performance of the song with Leonard Bernstein at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

This Saturday, composer Joelle Wallach continues her Jewish Giants of the American Songbook series with a look at how the Gershwin Brothers captured Broadway, Hollywood and the concert stage.
