Gershwin in Stereo & 5.1 Channel Surround Sound DSD 256, DSD 128 & DSD 64 – Exclusively at NativeDSD!
Around Gershwin is a Sonic Odyssey on the Accordion: Journey Through Gershwin and Beyond. It is star accordionist Richard Galliano’s tribute to George Gershwin, interweaving his music with works by early twentieth-century composers such as Debussy, Rachmaninoff, Satie, Ravel and Fauré, as well as new compositions of his own.
Seen through the lens of Galliano’s masterful musicianship, these pieces create the sensation of a sonic odyssey. Richard Galliano is widely seen as one of the greatest accordionists of our time. A special highlight of this album is his own arrangement of Rhapsody in Blue, fulfilling a childhood dream of his. He first played this piece when he was 17 and was immediately fascinated by the power and beauty of the work.
The DSD EP version of this arrangement of Rhapsody in Blue was released at NativeDSD in February 2024, commemorating the centenary anniversary of this epoch-making piece. We now share his interpretation of the Rhapsody as part of a complete album. His version reflects a true tour de force, propelled by his immense talent and his insatiable passion for music.
This is a DSD Exclusive, Not Available on SACD release. While the album is available on Stereo CD, NativeDSD has it for our listeners in Stereo and 5.1 Channel Surround Sound DSD 256, DSD 128 & DSD 64 plus Stereo DSD 512!

Press reviews
MusicWeb International
On his latest odyssey, he keeps company with George Gershwin, another crossover musician, and on their voyage they encounter a handful of classical composers, who willingly lend their most popular works to Galliano’s treatment – Galliano calls it adaptations for accordion – Rachmaninoff, Satie, Debussy, Ravel and even Fauré. The outcome of this is a stimulating hour of surprises and illuminations.
This imaginative and varied programme proves emphatically that Richard Galliano still sits safely on his throne as the King of the Accordion.
