Last night, the Phoenix Symphony used a piano roll conversion of Gershwin playing Rhapsody in Blue in conjunction with the orchestra. The following site has a nice article on the performance and the technology. It was quite a beautiful performance. They even announced that George Gershwin was going to perform, had a spotlight following him as he entered the stage, the 1st violinist pretended to shake his hand as did the conductor. http://phoenixsymphony.blogspot.com/
