1935, Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess Opéra is on première in Boston. 70 years later, still running on turntables
I know, it’s bad, really bad, but I must admit that I first stole this record from my mum. Then, later, I gave her it back, just before having my own copy… Listening to it alone, or with a special friend, is always an emotion.
