What can I add to Castor's impeccable review? It says it all!
Modestly, I just would just say that I gave been hooked by this SACD, listening to it again and again, discovering the many subtleties of these magnificent performances.
I do own a few excellent blue Rhapsodies, but this one has opened my ears up. It reminds me somehow of an oldish recording by MTT which I did not fully understand when it was released 25+ years ago. I was so used to the full symphony orchestra version that the jazz band sounded weird to me so I returned the disc back at Tower Records.
I cannot tell if this new recording is better or if my ears are wiser after these many years but everything clicks together now.
The three works are fascinating, Kempf's interpretation a marvel, the jazzy orchestra is beautiful and the recording extremely natural.
I just ask the readers to forgive the humble condition of this pseudo-review after reading the one by Castor.
