Cincinnati Symphony's Orchestra Transatlantic includes highly anticipated world premiere recording of the new Critical Edition of Gershwin's An American in Paris

An Interview with Louis Langrée

Do you remember the time you felt most like a stranger…like a human distinctly out of place? For me, this moment arrived during the week of New Year’s in 1999, when I awoke in an unfamiliar bed in Bethlehem to the adhan, the call to prayer, jet-lagged to all hell and bewildered by the proximity of a bewitching, undulating voice. The escape from my stupor was delicious, and the reemerging realization that I had joined a local handbell choir back in Chicago just to piggyback on their tour here didn’t diminish my wonderment.
