"Weiss is a pianist I’d never heard of ... I find him very easy to like. The tunes roll off the piano with unaffected charm and lyrical shape ... the Buffalo Philharmonic under JoAnn Falletta are his equals and the partnership is truly inspired ..."
- MusicWeb International
"... (JoAnn Falletta) virtually excels herself. The Buffalo Philharmonic produces a big, beautifully proportioned sound, rich in texture with lovely playing ... this is world-class Gershwin; Falletta really swings ... (Weiss) is a thoughtful and scrupulous pianist with a fine technique ... (captured) in full and luminous sound ..."
- Fanfare
George Gershwin’s Concerto in F was a response to demands for a "proper concerto" after the success of Rhapsody in Blue, avoiding programmatic content while providing a feast of tunes both uplifting and nostalgic. Originally intended as music for a film, his upbeat Rhapsody No. 2 describes the bustling Manhattan cityscape while under construction. Sourced from his hit musical Girl Crazy, I Got Rhythm Variations was Gershwin’s last full score. Pianist Orion Weiss is one of the most sought-after soloists and collaborators of his generation of young American musicians and stands out on this Grammy-nominated performance which has been praised for its stunning sound quality.
