| Description: The music from this timeless masterwork has fascinated generation after generation. Oddly enough, at its premiere, the critics presented mixed reaction; some calling it the pioneering work of a new fold opera genre, and others condemning it as merely a succession of hit songs: It Ain't Necessarily So, Summertime, I Got Plenty o' Nuttin', Bess, You is My Woman, and There's a Boat Dat's Leavin' Soon for New York. |
