"Porgy & Bess"
...Perhaps George Gershwin's crowning Achivement, "Porgy & Bess", this is
Columbia Records Set SL-162 (1951), a 3-LP Boxed Set...
Composed by George Gershwin, Lyrics by DuBois Heyward and Ira Gershwin...
Produced for record by Goddard Lieberson, Conducted by Lehmen Engel
Cast includes: Lawrence Winters (Porgy), Camellia Williams (Bess),
Inez Matthews (Serena), and Avon Long (Sporting Life)...
The Box itself has a few splits at seams and elsewhere, but the beautiful
frontspiece by Lewis Daniel is completely unaffected;
Internally, there is contained a 7 page booklet featuring notes on the
production, a synopsis of the tale, and complete dialogue,
role-for-role, side-for-side...
The 3 12-inch LP's are in Pristine condition...
True American Art Form at it's finest, musically speaking!
