Oscar Levant was a man of many talents who entertained the world with his music and great wit. At the height of his popularity pianist Oscar Levant was the highest-paid concert artist in America out drawing Arthur Rubinstein and Vladmir Horowitz. Levant is considered to be the foremost interpreter of the music of George Gerswhin. His 1945 recording of Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra reached number on the Billboard classical chart and remained one of Columbia Records'best selling albums for ten years. His most acclaimed recording is the "Second Rhapsody for Piano and Orchestra" album released in 1944. com praises Levant's "sensitive and poetic" recording of Rachmaninov’s Prélude in E flat Op. 23 No. 6 and praises his Debussy recordings saying they "are played with the utmost sensitivity for phrasing, tone colour and mood.

Levant’s Columbia recordings, on which his fame as a pianist has always been based, began with Gershwin, as they do in this new Sony complete collection. From 1942 there are the Concerto in F with André Kostelanetz conducting the New York Philharmonic along with the Three Preludes. Writing about these performances, Gramophone perfectly captured the essence of their supremacy over all subsequent recordings of the works: This is how to play Gershwin.

Oscar Levant's Gershwin is second to none. The performance of the Three Preludes is simply amazing. Those of you who know this site will appreciate how unusual it is for me to say this, but aside from the pure joy of playing this music oneself on the piano, tere is really no earthly reason for anyone else to record it. Levant gave the first concert performance of the Rhapsody. His 1927 and 1945 recordings are both splendid. He knew Gershwin well and, like Gershwin, was very successful as a writer of songs and music for theatrical productions
