Gershwin's Porgy and Bess has been called the greatest American opera, and colorful and moving songs such as "Summertime", "My Man's Gone Now", "Bess You Is My Woman", etc., have great appeal even for those who don't really care for European opera. This collection of highlights featuring sensational singing by the incomparable Leontyne Price, joined in duets by William Warfield, playing the crippled Porgy, was selected by RCA for 24/96 remastering for its "High performance" series, and the performances and sound certainly justify that title. Available from several
Amazon sellers here for about $7 up.
