Hi-This new SACD and most commercial releases are not the Rhapsody in Blue people first heard. They are the Ferde Grofé orchestration for conventional orchestra.
Michael Tilson Thomas has long championed the original. I think he has three recordings: early and late jazz-band versions (the first one more than 20 years ago) and one that uses a player piano to punch in Gershwin's playing, which didn't wow me.
Going from the big orchestration to the original is just like the buzz people get the first time they hear early-instruments Baroque.
Later,
JM
