The Times

Geoff Brown

A new barrier has just been broken with an exuberant account of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue played on an instrument that can no longer be regarded as just an old squeezebox.

The performer here, the genre-hopping French veteran Richard Galliano, has already brought us albums of Bach, Vivaldi, and Mozart, though creating an accordion distillation of Gershwin’s concert-jazz classic (it premiered 100 years ago this month) brought special challenges.

An accordion can’t smear the notes as the solo clarinet famously does in the original, nor can exchanges between piano and orchestra be clearly characterised. Even so, Galliano’s dexterity is spectacular enough for the nervous jazz rhythms to still come through, and his love for the music is infectious.

This remarkable performance is available as a digital single; an entire Gershwin album will follow in the autumn.
