Review by Jessi Brawley

The Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Felix Slatkin, has delivered a stunning performance in their album "Grofé On The Trail Gershwin Rhapsody In Blue." The orchestra's interpretation of George Gershwin's legendary "Rhapsody in Blue" is nothing short of exceptional, with every note played with precision and emotion.

The album opens with Ferde Grofé's "Grand Canyon Suite," which takes the listener on a musical journey through the natural wonder. The Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra captures the essence of the piece, creating a vivid soundscape that paints a picture of the majestic scenery.

The orchestra then moves on to the iconic "Rhapsody in Blue," a piece that requires a delicate balance between the piano and the orchestra. The Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra and pianist Leonard Pennario achieve this balance flawlessly, delivering a performance that is both powerful and nuanced.
