Music reviews of Oh, Kay! (1955 Studio Cast)
Music Review: First rate, top drawer!
Rating: 5 Stars
This production continues to grow on me. It sounded too sentimental on the first hearing, but now only Do, Do, Do seems excessive. Having never seen the musical production, my guess is it fits into the story very well.
The duo pianists (Cy Walter & Bernie Leighton) and the arrangements written for them (and/or improvised by them) are very creative and delightful. The other musicians are all first rate.
Who is the musical arranger for this production? That person deserves top billing, after the Gershwins! I looked all over the CD for any mention of the arranger, but alas, it's nowhere to found. It's rare to find someone who has the imagination to cleverly and beautifully adorn a Gershwin score...well here it is, with performing artists to match.
I should add that the two piano arrangements with George Gershwin himself playing are an amazement. The incredibly energetic and creative playing by Gershwin completely overwhelms me, so that I hardly notice the poor audio quality of those 1926 recordings. His sense of rhythm, melody, and harmony simply jumps! Here is something a musician can really learn from, and all Gershwin fans can delight in.
