1931-1934. A rare treasure, this CD contains two 15-minute episodes of the 1934 "Music by Gershwin" radio program (complete with laxative commercials!), a radio appearance with Rudy Vallee, and rehearsals for the Second Rhapsody and Porgy and Bess conducted by Gershwin himself. Gives great insight into the personality of one of the century's major composers. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi
