If you're a classical music lover with even a passing affection for Gershwin, this is one of those "drop everything and listen" albums. Earl Wild, Arthur Fiedler, and the Boston Pops joined forces here in a match that could only be described as electric-and RCA's Living Stereo engineers captured it all with a warmth and immediacy that still feels astonishing today.

The performances are world-class. Earl Wild was the American virtuoso who understood Gershwin not just as a crowd-pleaser, but as a serious composer. His piano sparkles in the Concerto in F-by turns jazzy, sultry, and thunderously grand. Arthur Fiedler, at the height of his long reign with the Boston Pops, provides the perfect foil: a conductor who knew how to give Gershwin's music its swing and sparkle without ever losing its classical backbone. Together, they make Gershwin sound both sophisticated and wildly alive.

Then there's the sound. This is RCA Living Stereo at its finest lush but not bloated, with Wild's piano given a front-and-center clarity that makes you feel like you're seated at Symphony Hall. The rhythmic drive of "I Got Rhythm" Variations, the sultry sway of the Cuban Overture, and the grandeur of the Concerto all come across with jaw-dropping presence. It's no wonder collectors and casual fans alike have called this one of the most thrilling of the entire Living Stereo series.

If you want to hear Gershwin played with equal parts virtuosity, joy, and sonic splendor this is the pressing you reach for.
