February 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the premiere of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. To mark the occasion, a special edition of the recording is released with Stefano Bollani on the piano, accompanied by the Gewandhausorchester conducted by Riccardo Chailly. The recording has been consistently praised as one of the best Gershwin recordings of all time. It combines the classical elegance and sophistication of the Gewandhaus Orchestra with the blues and jazz feeling of the Milan-born jazz legend Stefano Bollani. “Rhapsody In Blue” will be released in a blue 2-LP vinyl edition, numbered, and limited to 2.400 copies.
