The Gershwin Project / Anima Eterna Brugge

He was the author of popular jazz standards like »Lady Be Good« and »I Got Rhythm«. But how did such George Gershwin classics really sound like in the 1930s? Up to now, Anima Eterna Brugge has focused on the original sounds of many different eras, but in the past few years has concentrated on more contemporary works by composers such as Maurice Ravel, Hector Berlioz and George Gershwin. To mark its 30th anniversary, the ensemble together with soprano Yeree Suh venture into the world of showbiz for the first time – playing instruments from the era when the music originated. Pianist Frank Braley plays a Steinway grand piano from 1906 that Gershwin most probably played on himself.
