Sir Simon Rattle Porgy & Bess

„Jedan od najvažnijih operskih snimaka poslednjih godina“ bila je presuda časopisa Opera, čime je ovekovečena prva produkcija Geršvinovog remek-dela Glindborn festivala. Sajmon Retl tretira „Porgy & Bess“ kao jednu od velikih operskih partitura 20. veka. Cela predstava briljira pozorišnom neposrednošću a glumačka ekipa je sjajna, predvođena Vilardom Vajtom, tamnim glasom, dostojanstvenim, na kraju plemenitim Porgijem i sjajna Bes Sintije Hejmon. Ovo je sjajan suvenir velikog događaja u Glindbornu.
