2 Classical music questions

[sal]

1. There was an episode of the old school Hanna-Barbara "Tom & Jerry" cartoons where Jerry lives inside a grand piano. There is then a concert in which Tom is the pianst, and begins to play while Jerry is inside the piano sleeping. Jerry begins having a really hard time with the music and the episode proceeds to Tom & Jerry having a war with each other all while Tom is playing some piano concerto. Does anybody remember this episode and know what piece that was that Tom was playing? And if you do, can you recommend a good recording of it?

2. What is a good recording of Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue"?

Thanks!

1. Might be Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2

That's all I've got.
