"Shall We Dance" and other Gershwin films
on: January 23, 2011, 04:46:45 AM
Hello everyone,

I'm doing a report on the development of Gershwin's music throughout his lifetime, and I was wondering, does anyone know what orchestra (and conductor) was used in his film scores? In particular, I'm looking for the orchestra that recorded the score for "Shall We Dance," but I'd also like the information on who recorded the movies "Rhapsody in Blue" and "An American in Paris"

Any information would be very appreciated!
Pieces:
Beethoven - Sonata No. 17 in D minor, Op. 31 No. 2
Chopin - Nocturne in Bb minor Op. 9 No. 1
Debussy - "La Danse De Puck"
Somers - Sonnet No. 3, "Primeval"
Gershwin - Concerto in F
