The music from the timeless masterwork Porgy and Bess®has fascinated generation after generation. Oddly enough, at its premiere the critics presented mixed reaction: some calling it the pioneering work of a new folk-opera genre, and others condemning it as merely a succession of hit songs. Fortunately, time has secured its place in history. James Barnes has skillfully crafted a wonderful scoring of 'I Got Plenty O' Nuttin',' 'It Ain't Necessarily So,' 'Summertime,' 'Crab Man,' and 'Bess, You Is My Woman Now.' This is Gershwin at his best! (8:30)
