Ape files, cue files (ape and wav), booklet and libretto (English) included.

(Due certainly to reserved rights, this set is issued without a libretto; I scanned the one supplied with the Decca
recording by Maazel; there may be some cuts and differences)

When Leontyne Price recorded some highlights of Porgy an Bess for RCA in the 60s (uploaded by Nii,
http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1487377/5426554/), everyone thought "why not the complete opera?".
Thanks to the label Guild Historical, here it is at last.

In the 50s, Porgy and Bess was presented worldwide during three years with young voices which were discovered then and
became famous, and among them the magnificent Leontyne Price!

This recording is made from a live recording in Berlin, in 1952. The conductor is Alexander Smallens who conducted the
première in Boston in 1935.

It is a live recording, so stage noises, applause, but an exceptional performance (and with a very good sound).

Review: Classical.Net 2008 by Gerald Fenech

This splendid recording featuring a stellar cast of what has to be one of the 20th century's definite masterpieces is a
major discovery. Featuring the up and coming Leontyne Price and William Warfield in the roles of Bess and Porgy, there
is a definite sense of authenticity and brilliance about proceedings.



The notes by Robert Matthew Walker tell us that this was the work's first European performance after the famous
commercial recording was issued by CBS in 1952. Although stage noise is quite overbearing and dominant in some stages,
the music comes across as quite magnificent and it goes without saying that the singing is consistently out of the top
drawer with the orchestra also playing an important role.



If not displacing other notable modern versions of this work by Maazel and Rattle, this new offering from Guild more
than deserves its place in the historical pantheon of this great work from that master of jazz, George Gershwin.
