Leonard Bernstein&#8217;s recording of &#8220;Rhapsody in Blue&#8221; is considered the &#8220;definitive&#8221; one (see below to listen). Bernstein was a famed conductor and composer, and his music was similar to Gershwin in a lot of ways. But the score Bernstein used wasn&#8217;t the same one used by Paul Whiteman during the 1924 premiere. Bernstein used a later arrangement made for a large symphony orchestra and which styles the music much closer to European classical. Bernstein&#8217;s own conducting compliments this with a balance and pace very familiar to the concert hall tradition.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a beautiful interpretation, but something missing from it is the sense of just how &#8220;jazzy&#8221; and cutting edge &#8220;Rhapsody in Blue&#8221; really was. The original Jazz band scoring is a truly unique balance of American Jazz and European Classical that really is like no other. The &#8220;heat&#8221; of it is easily recognizable and it sounds like it&#8217;s being played with reckless abandon. <\/p>\n<p>There is no &#8220;right&#8221; or &#8220;wrong&#8221; version here, and you can prefer one, like both, or like neither and no one could fault you. But as a historical document, the original scoring of &#8220;Rhapsody in Blue&#8221; is an amazing listen &mdash; check it out.<\/p>\n<p>The Bernstein version: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ImgqGv0TXC\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ImgqGv0TXC<\/a><br \/>\nThe original scoring (abridged to fit on record): <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NIr_WPcVDt8\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NIr_WPcVDt8<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-15-at-10-37-25-Goodbye-Lenin-Hello-Jazz-B2W-ZEITGEIST-I-E-22-Winter-1924.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-15-at-10-37-25-Goodbye-Lenin-Hello-Jazz-B2W-ZEITGEIST-I-E-22-Winter-1924-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-67113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-15-at-10-37-25-Goodbye-Lenin-Hello-Jazz-B2W-ZEITGEIST-I-E-22-Winter-1924-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-15-at-10-37-25-Goodbye-Lenin-Hello-Jazz-B2W-ZEITGEIST-I-E-22-Winter-1924-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-15-at-10-37-25-Goodbye-Lenin-Hello-Jazz-B2W-ZEITGEIST-I-E-22-Winter-1924-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-15-at-10-37-25-Goodbye-Lenin-Hello-Jazz-B2W-ZEITGEIST-I-E-22-Winter-1924.png 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TimeGhost History Published 14 Jul 2021 The winter of 1924 sees the death of not only Vladimir Lenin but also the Ottoman Caliphate.
