Description: Dynagroove Recordings, mastered on RCA Magnetic Tape. 1963, Radio Corporation of Ameria Printed in USA. A DREAM CAST in the Gershwin Masterpiece based on DeBose Heyward, writer of the libretto. GREAT SCENES ONLY, not the entire opera, but as the program notes on the jacket reflect, Gershwin indeed and proudly admitted that he wrote 'songs' for this great opera, stating Verdi operas contained what was known as 'song hits,' and Carmen too, almost completely a collection of song hits.... Thus in this recording, most of the SONG HITS.... Introduction -- Summertime -- A Woman is a Sometime Thing --- Gone, Gone, Gone --- I Got Plenty of Nuttin' -- Bess You Is My Woman -- It Ain't Necessarily So -- What You Want Wid Bess? -- I Loves You Porgy -- and from Act III-- There's a Boat Dat's Leavin' Soon for New York -- Oh Bess Oh Where's My Bess -- Oh Lawd, I'm on My Way --- with the Great William Warfield who had a great career but NOTHING of the magnitude he could have had on the opera stage had he not been a black man. His one-time wife and Brilliant Leontyne Price somehow to surpass the discrimination to become one of the leading sopranos of the operatic stage as related to the 'concert'-recital-film career of Mr. Warfield. Also features John W. Bubbles and McHenry Boatwright, however a little dispointed the cover, neither inside nor outside offers the entire cast list -- a dream cast for sure in a great, stunning, stimulating and History-Changing-opera --
