George Gershwin -- Three Preludes: By George Gershwin / ed. Maurice Hinson (Book & CD) (Alfred Masterwork Edition: Alfred's Masterwork Library)

George Gershwin's three most famous preludes demonstrate his genius for piano writing, and portray a variety of styles. Prelude I exudes energetic syncopation, Prelude II is a lyric blues with an ostinato-like accompaniment, and Prelude III closes this set brilliantly with rugged rhythms and exciting syncopations. All three preludes were selected for the Federation Festivals 2011-2013. Included is an outstanding CD recording from the Naxos label.
