As I said on SACD.net:
It appears Litton made some additions to the orchestration, such as the addition of a cymbal (I'm guessing it's a hi-hat) to the opening of the last variation of Variations on "I Got Rhythm." I have no problem with that given how in Gershwin's time he and Whiteman would more or less incorporate whatever instruments were on hand at a given performance.
It should also be mentioned that this is the only SACD that uses the original Paul Whiteman jazz band version of Rhapsody, and one of the very few recordings of the Second Rhapsody that uses Gershwin's original orchestration.
