Making his debut for Sony Classical, violin virtuoso Joshua Bell teams for the 1st time with Oscar-winning composer/conductor John Williams. Featuring world premiere recordings of new arrangements for violin and orchestra of some of Gershwin's most beloved tunes ("I Got Rhythm," "Embraceable You" and more, including the set's centerpiece, "Porgy And Bess Fantasy"), Gershwin Fantasy is fitting tribute to America's greatest composer in his centennial year.
