George Gershwin by Rodney Greenberg

"An excellent critical account of Gershwin's musical development in the social and musical context of the first three decades of the century"—BBC Music Magazine

"Sharply observed..."—Billboard

"...An insightful, well written book..."—Jewish Chronicle

"A handsome, illustrated Gershwin biography."—Daily Telegraph

"My best tip for Xmas stockings would be Rodney Greenberg’s concise and well organised study of the life and music of everybody’s centennial hero, George Gershwin."—BBC Music Magazine

On the 20th Century Composers Series

"As a series, Phaidon's 20th Century Composers has brought remarkable variety and a welter of information, both necessary and delightfully trivial. Intended both for the general reader and for the more enthusiastically musical."—The Scotsman

Rodney Greenberg has produced and directed over 300 television music programmes, including the televised Promenade Concerts and three documentaries on George Gershwin.
