»Love Is Here To Stay«. The George & Ira Gershwin Story

Their story begins in St. Petersburg, Russia, leads through New York's impoverished Lower East Side and Turkish baths to Broadway and Hollywood. There, the brilliant brothers Jacob and Israel Gershowitz – alias George and Ira Gershwin – sensationally transcend genre boundaries in both music and song lyrics, bridging jazz, blues, swing, popular culture, and European art music, creating something radically new. Hear the story of this dream team and key works from the Great American Songbook such as "Someone to Watch Over Me" and "They Can't Take That Away From Me," jazz standards like "The Man I Love" and "I Got Rhythm," songs from "Porgy and Bess," and excerpts from "Rhapsody in Blue" and "An American in Paris." With Julie Wolff (vocals), Max Doehlemann (piano), Jotham Bleiberg (trumpet), and Judith Kessler (texts/narrator).
