Тезаурус:

1. IT SEEMS remarkable that Gershwin's Porgy and Bess should have to be the object of rediscovery.
2. If the complete Porgy reveals anything, it is that Gershwin did not go straight from one hit to another (as we did here, from "Summertime" to "A Woman is a Sometime Thing").
3. An unexpected source for this kind of writing, as for the more schematic dialogue in the first scene of the act, has been suggested in Gershwin's Porgy and Bess, an idea which has the virtue of postulating a rare English-language model for lifelike conversational recitative.
4. Golliwog's Cake Walk, La fille aux cheveux de lin, Porgy Bess, Danza espagnola, El Amor brujo , a selection of Shostakovich Piano Preludes, a March by Prokofiev, and an original by Michael Thomas all come up fresh as daisies in new string quartet settings.
5. "I was young and hot then", she says, talking of her dancing days in LA, and later in the famous European tour of the 1950s of Gershwin's Porgy and Bess that took her to La Scala.
6. The opera, like Gershwin's Porgy and Bess the following year, used an all-Black cast and the staging and choreography gave it a British connection since it was by Frederick Ashton.
7. On this day: Lucius Plancus founded Lyons, 43 BC; rioters burnt down Nottingham Castle, 1831; Henry Morton Stanley met Dr Livingstone, Ujiji 1871; the Savoy Theatre opened with a performance of Patience by Gilbert and Sullivan, London 1881; Gershwin's Porgy and Bess opened in New York City, 1935; Tristan da Cunha islanders were evacuated following a volcanic eruption, 1961; the XVIIIth Olympic Games opened in Tokyo, 1964; Fiji became independent, 1970; Sir John Betjeman became Poet Laureate, 1972; Spiro Agnew resigned as US Vice-President after being fined 10,000 for income tax evasion, 1973; in the General Election, Labour was returned with an overall majority of three, 1974.
8. MUSIC / A sometime thing: David Fanning reviews Porgy and Bess in Liverpool
9. On this day: Louis XII, King of France, married Mary Tudor, sister of Henry VIII, 1514; the first Luddite riots against the introduction of machinery for spinning cotton started, Manchester 1779; Hobart, Tasmania, was founded, 1804; the Universal Postal Union was founded, Rome 1875; the first petrol-driven motor bus began operating in London, 1899; the Labour government fell, 1924; King Alexander of Yugoslavia and Louis Barthou, French foreign minister, were assassinated by a Croatian terrorist, Marseilles 1934; the first London production of the musical show Porgy and Bess was presented, 1952; the breathalyzer test came into force in Britain, 1967.
10. As it happens, the problems of an unstaged Porgy are hardly less acute - a cast of 24 soloists and a duration of three and a quarter hours are not easily managed in the concert hall.
11. The sound world (dare I say "the acoustic sound world"?) is somewhere between Elton John and the Graingere two-piano Porgy and Bess Fantasy , and there are echoes throughout (I wonder, indeed, if John Mc Laughlin knows John Foulds's April-England ?).
12. Microphones may be no real answer, but with the exception of Louis Hagen-William's Porgy and Daniel Washington's Crown none of the voices had adequate carrying power without them.
13. It seems to be confirmed, moreover, by the resemblance between the meccanico ostinato figure at Ellen's entrance after the Old Joe round (originally the away from tidal waves' motif) and the crapshooting ostinato in Act One of Porgy, among other similarities of detail.
