Porgy & Bess

Music on this recording of 15 songs from this folk opera casts new light on the timeless melodies in fresh and inventive ways. Each of the songs is performed in the same order in which it appears in the opera.

Stunning original arrangements by James (Jim) Balentine provide an exciting new journey into George and Ira Gershwin’s operatic triumph. His rich orchestrations provide the perfect accompaniment for Daniel’s passionate playing and approach to music which he long admired.
