I wonder if Gershwin would be surprised by how much his compositions are played in concert halls worldwide.
Gershwin smiles 🌌 ✨🌌🕊 from up above
Outstanding performance of HR Frankfurt orchestra and soloist singers. Go.. Andrés Orozco-Estrada!!! Great!!
What a stunning performance! I first heard Gershwin's masterpiece more than 60 years ago, and this rendition brought back that first awe and wonder. Bravo!
What superb orchestral constraint and sublime vocal tone control and range. Magnifique
WOW! My words fail me right now.
Très belle interprétation ....qui résonne longtemps après
Splendide!
Adina sounds great
She is delicately perfect.
Adina Aaron, com certeza és uma das filhas amada de Aretha Franklin. 🥰💎👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wunderschöne Aufführung dieses jazzigen Meisterstücks mit bezaubernder Stimme der genialen Solistin und perfekt vereinigten Töne aller Instrumente. Der geniale Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im lyrischen Tempo mit angenehmer Dynamik. Atemberaubend!
exceptional performance. lyric. intimate. thanks so much for this.
Wow!
Don't forget, lyrics by Ira Gershwin and Dubose Heyward! This is sung, after all.
Living proof that there's just no instrument to match the Human Voice... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Perfect

Wonderful!
I love it (...)
Wow
Dvorak new world
Sounds great! Why was it transposed down though?
Miss the choir in the second verse.
Far far too slow, but when you've got a singer with a tone this luxurious and beautiful, you can't blame the conductor for wanting to languish a little.
Maybe you're used to the Miles Davis version? This seems like a pretty standard tempo to me (for the original version).
@@rloomis3 Ummm… no. LOL. I’ve heard and seen this performed live many, many times. I think it’s safe to say that the Houston Grand Opera recording hems pretty close to the standard tempi. This Summertime is far too slow. kzhead.info/sun/ntR7mKeBgaurl5E/bejne.html
@@chrisfrenchnyc Agree to disagree. I got out my metronome and checked the tempos of the HGO and this performance. In between the "lingerings," it's about 66 vs. 52. Is that really a big enough difference to merit an accusation of "Far far too slow" for this one? Also, I found online a vocal score, copyright by the Gershwin Publishing Corporation, in which the tempo is marked as 96! By that reckoning, the HGO recording is also far off the mark. There is plenty of repertoire that has developed a performance tradition where the tempos are rather removed from the composers' original indications. Given that, it basically comes down to a matter of preference. If you say, "This performance is far, far too slow for my taste," I have no argument; but when you make a declarative statement that implies there is something technically "wrong" with the performance, I don't think you have much of a case - and, based on the source I mentioned, you would apparently need to apply that same criticism to the recording you cited as a reasonable reference.
@@rloomis3 NERD!!!! (i heart music nerds)
@@chrisfrenchnyc Guilty. ;-)
