Gershwin and Stravinsky

Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orchestra

Charleston rhythm meets thunderous primal energy: music that sweeps you away.

This is fascinating, this is America!” Stravinsky is said to have exclaimed when he heard Gershwin’s music. The admiration was mutual. No matter how great their differences, what the two recognized in each other was the kinetic energy of their work. The Charleston rhythm is the heartbeat of Gershwin’s Piano Concerto. Stravinsky’s *Sacre* thunders with thunderous primal power. With either piece, it’s impossible to sit still.
