Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue by Crawford, Hohman
This video selection was recorded, but not used, in Episode #24 in the Midnight Pipes t.v. series (1996-2002). The site for this episode was a unique one. Dr. Bruce Belshaw, a Denver physician, built his upscale mansion home in Denver around a 22-rank 3-manual Wurlitzer theater organ. It was an immaculate installation. Dr. Belshaw's son, Don, was an organ builder and an organ tech with Morel & Associates in Denver at that time, and he made sure that everything about the pipe organ in his father's home was absolutely first-class!
The complete Midnight Pipes Episode 24 can be viewed in its entirety here on Vimeo at: vimeo.com/318809547The aired episode #24 featured interviews and performances from Dr. Bruce Belshaw and from Denver theater organist Bob Castle. Also, the aired episode contained a behind-the-scene tour of the working of the installed Wurlitzer organ by Don Belshaw.
The original plan for the episode was for program host Frederick Hohman to also appear in performance, in an abbreviated arrangement and organ transcription, made by renowned theater organist Jesse Crawford, of George Gershwin’s 1924 classic: “Rhapsody in Blue.” Jesse Crawford’s theater organ arrangement was penned shortly following the original premiere of “Rhapsode in Blue” which occurred in Aeolian Hall in New York City on February 12, 1924. The score to Mr. Crawford’s arrangement was published by Harms, Inc., in 1927, and today a reprint of that organ score may be obtained through Michael’s Music Service in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Due to tight time constraints imposed by local and network broadcasters, to have included Hohman’s performance would have taken the episode duration well over the 28-3/4 minutes time limit. Soon after this video was recorded (May 3, 1999) produced Hohman was advised that the Gershwin work would have been expensive to license for television broadcast, as it was still protected by copyright in the year 1999. With the license cost beyond the reach of the limited production budget, this performance was cut from the episode and placed into long-term archive. Today, in 2023, and with "Rhapsody in Blue" soon to celebrate its 100-year anniversary since its premiere, coming up in mid-February, 2024, the Gershwin work is surely now in the public domain, and so we present it here for your enjoyment!

Beautiful!
A brilliant performance of the Master work at just the right tempo.
this is how it is written to be played brilliant
awesome organ and playing
wonderful organ and performance
Merci !
magnifico!
Masterful display of versatility!
This is the best version I've found here on UA-cam. It's just the right speed and you can actually hear the music. Other versions are either too fast or the tones get drowned in one loud mess.
very rythmic
Stunning. No other words for it.
Best interpretation in UA-cam ;-D
Wonderful! Thank you.
Awesome hand/manual changes during the glissandos, e.g. from 1:40 onwards... WOW!
Best recording on UA-cam!
Splendid performance of this piece. Right tempo, crisp technique--heavenly! Used this for my wedding recessional 28 years ago; it was perfect although my mom hated it!
Solid. This chap makes it alive. Without taking it too fast.
extraordinarios bellisimos
The CD adds the first four movements producing a package of which I am very fond.
I love this magnificent instrument! The Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart is a wonderfully complimentary acoustical environment for the organ. Listen to those awesome pedal pipes speaking from their towers at the back of the nave. WOW! It reminds me quite a bit of some of those churches in Paris.
Excellent playing. Nice tempo. Great organ. I would loved to have been there to hear it all live.
wonderfull!
This is my favorite performance of the Toccata.
Wow, this is really well recorded!
One of my very FAVORITE pieces of organ work. My GrandDad played this quite often for postludes at my church I grew up in. He played this the best, imo. Love it!
Vibrant!
Christ Jesus be praised, in the Heaven, and in the earth, and under the earth, and let all Creation praise His Holy Name.
Wow, great organist and fantastic work on the pedals, he also does a great glissando .
Awesome!
Bravo!!!
Brilliant Organist !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saw him many years back when he performed on a decent organ we have nearby in a little podunk town. Really nice guy I remember. I bought that CD that they plug in this video (French 5ths) and had him sign it for me.
This is the one recital, I keep coming back to. A truly great rendition!
Mr. Hohman plays the new 4 manual console near the front altar. The organ is the masterpiece of the Schantz Organ company. It has 50 ranks, or sets of pipes near the altar and 100 ranks near the back of the cathedral. Two organs really. Both playable from consoles in the front and back of the building. The building itself has some of the most impressive carved marble inside, and stained glass of any church in America.
THANK YOU, Mr. Hohman! To God be the glory!!!
Hats off to Schantz and the young man. The 32 foot stops had time to speak clearly. This is the very best performance of the Widor.
Diane Bish should listen to this and she might learn how to play this piece. Bravo Mr. Hohman! Tempo, articulation, registration, a little "rubato"... everything spot on.
So accurate, a real pro. With the computer you can never hear everything comparing to being there in the building though.
Lovely, Bob! Nice to hear you again making beautiful music.
beautiful!
Search "Ch. M. Widor" to hear the composer play this. This is the most majestic organ composition ever written.
have to chime in and agree - a most satisfying aural experience in every aspect of a great work that often gets rushed or muddled up
Magnifique
Beautiful!
Excellent!
Cameron Carpenter needs to watch this.
Truly a masterpiece of technical prowess, musicality and artistry. It is a rare pleasure to hear this so well played on such a great instrument. A huge compliment to the organist, the composer and the organ builder. The 32 foot pipes are very demanding on the organ's wind reserves, so big up to the organ builder -- this beautiful instrument kept up flawlessly. The 32 foot pipes also take time to sound given the amount of air required. The timing and clarity of the notes and in particular the pedals are testament to the organist’s and the organ builder’s skills. This is the first time I've heard this piece played at the correct tempo. Diane Bish plays it way too fast! This rendition brought a tear to my eye -- sheer majesty. The pedals need time for their sheer majesty.
Very enjoyable. Thank you. (I swear, those toe pistons look lethal.)
fantastic, bright organ and excellent playing!
So beautiful, and so beautifully done! Hats off to Mr. Hohman for making my heart leap with his uncanny performance.
