naxos does not only release modern music.
and gershwin is definitely modern classical. he took sounds and genres that were foreign to western art music and incorporated them into it.
that sounds pretty modern to me (not that classical and romantic composers didnt incorporate popular and folk music into their pieces) but gershwin incorporated the sounds of modern society, in the sense of the bustling cities and street sweepers, and making an opera out of jazz music.
