17 lutego 2017, piątek„Jedno z najważniejszych operowych nagrań ostatnich lat” – tak magazyn Opera opisuje tę płytę, uwieczniającą arcydzieło Gershwina Porgy and Bess, po raz pierwszy wystawione w ramach Glyndebourne Festival Opera. „Dla Simona Rattle'a Porgy and Bess to jedna z wielkich partytur operowych XX wieku. . . cały spektakl to popis teatralnej bezpośredniości. W obsadzie znajduje się świetny Willard White jako Porgy, a Cynthia Haymon olśniewa jako Bess. Wspaniała pamiątka z wielkiego wydarzenia, jakim jest Glydebourne!”
