Format:Audio CD
THIS ALBUM OF GREAT BROADWAY AND MOVIE SHOWPIECES CENTRES AROUND MR SINATRA'S MAGICAL RENDITION OF 'OL'MAN RIVER'A SONG HE SANG IN CONCERT FOR OVER 30 YEARS. FEW WILL FORGET THE RIDICULOUS SIGHT OF A WHITE SUITED SINATRA INNOCENTLY CROONING HIS WAY THROUGH THIS EPIC IN A MID-FORTIES MOVIE. THE CONCERT SINATRA VERSION COMBINES ALL OF SINATRA'S EXPERIENCE AND WORLD WEARINESS WITH A BRAVURA VOCAL PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTED BY THE DOUBLE GLISSANDO ON THE PHRASE "IN JAIL...I GETS WEARY" WHERE YOU WILL HEAR SINATRA'S VERY LOWEST BASS NOTES EXPOSED AND SUSTAINED.IT IS A STUNNING PERFORMANCE WHICH YOU CAN SEE REPEATED IN THE VIDEO/DVD OF 'A MAN AND HIS MUSIC ELLA + JOBIM'FROM 1966. THIS DOES NOT DETRACT FROM OTHER MAGICAL VERSIONS OF 'YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE','I HAVE DREAMED','THIS NEARLY WAS MINE','MY HEART STOOD STILL'AND THE 'SOLILOQUY' FROM CAROUSEL' ALTHOUGH NOT A LONG ALBUM TIMEWISE, IT IS IN MY OPINION,ONE OF HIS BEST, WHILE HE STILL HAD ALL OF HIS VOICE TO WORK WITH, AND BEST SAMPLED IN CHUNKS RATHER THAN AS A WHOLE.THE MERIT OF THE ALBUM (AND RIDDLE'S SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRATIONS) IS THAT SEVERAL OF THESE VERSIONS REMAINED IN SINATRA'S CONCERT REPERTOIRE TILL THE END.ANOTHER IMPORTANT POINT TO MAKE IS HOW VASTLY SUPERIOR THE SINATRA VERSIONS ARE COMPARED TO CAST RECORDINGS BY TRAINED SINGERS. IN THE LATTER THE VOCALIST SINGS AT THE PEOPLE. FRANK ALWAYS SANG TO THEM.

This review/comment refers to the upcoming "Concert Sinatra (Shm-CD)"
If this is TRULY remastered from the original 8 - 21 track 35mm film stock session master recordings, then the incredible fidelity of this release should blow your socks off !!!!!!!
However, if it is merely "remastered" from the third generation 1/4" two track tape master (down from the 1/2" 3 track tape mix of the original 35mm master recording), with the inherent loss of fidelity, sonic detail, ambience & the addition of analogue tape hiss, then FORGET IT !!!!!
If you want a rough approximation of how it should/could sound, grab yourself a copy of Victor Young's 1958 soundtrack to "Around The World in 80 Days" on standard CD MCAD-31134 originally recorded 5 years earlier on a similar 8 track 35mm master.
Let's hope the boffins have done their work diligently & make Sinatra proud; in which case it will be worth every penny of the resale price.

the best combernation of Sanatra's voice accommpanied by an orchester in history and the songs are all perfectly suited for that combination because they are timeless classics.

Symphonic Sinatra
This mid-60s album is one of Sinatra's most ambitious. Nelson Riddle leads a full orchestra in lush, symphonic arrangements of classic show tunes that showcase his powerful voice... Read more
