Britten Sinfonia
From its opening clarinet glissando Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue has become synonymous with 1920s America and is performed here in the original jazz band arrangement, along with Stravinsky's rhythmically complex Concerto for piano and wind. Both works explore rhythm from the syncopated cadenzas in Stravinsky to the abundant use of dance and ragtime rhythms in Gershwin.
