"[Dixon's] recordings are propulsive and full of life."
- Medium
African-American conductor Dean Dixon heads the Vienna Symphony Orchestra for this programme of Gershwin works. Dixon was a prolific conductor in his time, whose career often faced roadblocks due to being black.
He once defined the three phases of his career by the descriptions he was given: firstly, he was called "the black American conductor Dean Dixon"; when he started to be offered engagements he was "the American conductor Dean Dixon"; and after he had become fully accepted he was called simply "the conductor Dean Dixon".
