Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A LONG AWAITED HISTORICAL ISSUE!!!
This is a wonderful historical document of a famous revival of the great George Gershwin's PORGY AND BESS. It is a very good sounding performance of a famous production that toured the world for three years in the early 1950's featuring a very young Leontyne Price and a fine William Warfield.

So much of the lovely recitative is cut; much of the final scene is missing; and Buzzard Song, Porgy's great, tragic aria, is interpolated in the final scene, which makes little ... Read More
