Editorial Reviews
New York Concert Review (Harris Goldsmith)
"The recordings of Gershwin playing always show a patrician element and Dowling's sympathetic recreations show a similar classical purity."
Fanfare Magazine, May/June 2002
Gershwin's piano pieces are lovingly recreated here by Richard Dowling--an excellent Gershwin pianist who has captured the period charm admirably.
Album Description
American pianist Richard Dowling performs virtually all of Gershwin's original works for solo piano along with several new transcriptions of Gershwin improvisations from disc recordings and player piano rolls. Dowling transcribed several of the tracks himself including a world premiere of Gershwin's own three-minute rendition of the main theme of "Rhapsody in Blue." Rounding out the disc are Earl Wild's Seven Virtuoso Etudes on Themes by Gershwin.

Customer Reviews:
This guy is AMAZING!.......2002-12-08
I heard one of Dowling's concerts and he's awesome! I play this CD in my car and almost got a speeding ticket because of it. Richard really knows the Gershwin style. It's upbeat and a lot of fun to listen to over and over.
He's Got Rhythm!.......2001-08-31
Richard's got the most amazing fingers (and ears)! He's such a good pianist that you'll swear you're hearing old George playing himself. If you love music from 1920s and 30s New York, this is about as authentic as it gets. The Earl Wild pieces at the end will blow you away. You'll want to listen to this CD over and over because the music is happy and the execution is perfect.
Richard Dowling has found teh Gershwin Way to play.......2001-08-17
The masterful work displayed on this CD is a pleasure to listen to. The speed with which the keystrokes are perfectly executed is simply astounding. I have only had the CD for about a week and have enjoyed it completely many times.
