The recordings were originally released in 1974 and so are coming up to their 50th anniversary.

Produced by Marc Aubort and Joanna Nickrenz these Vox recordings are acknowledged as Audiophile classics.

The booklet notes were written by the eminent writer Edward Jablonski who wrote The Gershwin Years (Doubleday, 1973) at around the same time the Vox recording was released; he subsequently wrote Gershwin in 1987, again for Doubleday.

Leonard Slatkin has recorded a huge body of music for Naxos including major American, French and Russian works and these recordings can be promoted.

He has won six GRAMMY Awards and received 35 nominations. He holds the National Medal of Arts and is a Chevalier in the French Legion of Honour.
