Over on Lileks.com he has a strange video. It's a piano roll of "Rhapsody in Blue" recorded by Gershwin himself and replayed on a modern instrument that better reproduces the dynamics of the original performance. This is how Gershwin wanted it played, heedless, fast, jumpy, exhilirating. As Lileks says, its not so much a recording as a sceance.
