Paul Bisaccia – Prelude to Pride

Paul Bisaccia is the first artist to have recorded the complete solo piano music of Gershwin, and his PBS television special Gershwin by Bisaccia has been broadcast throughout the U.S. and viewed by millions. The American Record Guide says, “For Gershwin interpretations, Bisaccia wins hands down.” Michael Feinstein calls Paul Bisaccia and the Great American Piano his second television show for PBS, “imaginative, fun, well played and totally satisfying.” It is fitting, then, that Bisaccia’s all-Gershwin program for The Spire Series will feature the beloved composer’s Rhapsody in Blue.
