[78-L] Rhapsody the film

[David Weiner]

Quite a few tracks from the film's soundtrack are on the Rhino 2-CD set,
"George And Ira Gershwin In Hollywood."  The other soundtrack CD already
mentioned is one of those "recorded off the TV set with a hand-held mike"
variety.

Caret removed..chunks of the soundtrack WERE issued at 78RPM, on V-Disc. Two

excerpts from the Concerto in F on VD 517 and the Rhapsody (9 minutes'
worth) 
on VD 139. Both say with Paul Whiteman's Orchestra but as I recall, the 
conductor was Ray Heindorf.

Ray Turner played any piano parts that involved duets (i.e.
Gershwin-Levant).
