Our Take

In a delightful collision of two musical worlds, composer Michael Finnissy takes on the timeless tunes of George Gershwin in his latest album "Finnissy: Gershwin Arrangements." Imagine the thrill of hearing Gershwin's iconic melodies reimagined through Finnissy's avant-garde lens - it's like sipping a martini while wearing a clown nose.

From the bouncy rhythms of "I Got Rhythm" to the sultry allure of "Summertime," Finnissy's arrangements bring a fresh perspective to these beloved classics. The juxtaposition of Gershwin's jazzy charm with Finnissy's experimental twists creates a listening experience that is both familiar and surprising.

But don't be fooled - this album is not for the faint of heart. Finnissy's intricate orchestrations and unconventional harmonies may leave some scratching their heads, but for those willing to take the plunge, the rewards are endless. It's like solving a Rubik's Cube while riding a unicycle - challenging, yes, but oh so satisfying.

So grab your top hat and tails, and prepare to be dazzled by the genius of Finnissy's Gershwin Arrangements. This album is a testament to the enduring power of music to surprise, to delight, and to utterly confuse. And in the end, isn't that what art is all about?
