'This is rather a new look at some very familiar Gershwin. Bebbington — well known for his probing readings — claims that he and Botstein "discovered unexpected shades among the famous melodies …”'

Mark Bebbington, best-known for his much-acclaimed recordings of British music on SOMM, takes a leap across the Atlantic this month to bring his refined yet expressive style to a spectacular all-Gershwin CD, alongside the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Grammy Award-nominated American conductor Leon Botstein.
