Written the year after his "Rhapsody In Blue," George Gershwin's 1925 Piano Concerto in F was, at the time, called a "jazz concerto" by critics and audiences. But with its Charleston rhythm, blues nocturne, sonata form and classical rondo, Gershwin brought together the two worlds of both classical and jazz. Enjoy Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in a lively recording from the Boston Pops with conductor Arthur Fiedler for today’s Midday Masterpiece.
