Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0077779431724 Format: Box set Label: Capitol Manufacturer: Capitol MPN: 94317 Number Of Discs: 3 Publisher: Capitol Release Date: December 13, 1990 Studio: Capitol Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Including Sinatra's finest recordings from the most consistently accomplished era of his career, The Capitol Years includes three discs and 75 songs worth of swinging standards and bittersweet saloon pop, the music Sinatra made after his career and personal life had crashed and singing was all he had left. His masterful baritone and remarkable phrasing here work in perfect combination with arrangements that swing and swell to the heartbeat of loves lost and found. It is these performances for which Sinatra will be forever remembered, for surely, no one has ever created music more beautiful than this. --David Cantwell Amazon.com: Franks Sinatra Photos

 Rating:  - Classic Sinatra at a Great Price!The reason I gave this 3 CD Set 4 stars instead of 5? These recordings were made before 'Stereo' came along. But, the engineers did a great job of transfering (Re-mastering?) the songs to CD, and they sound very good. Seventy-five classics by the greatest crooner of the 20th century.

"Here Goes," featured on Disc 2, Track 23 of this set, is a vocal version of a piece called "Hi" which was written by Otto Cesana and recorded by Mr. Cesana's orchestra on his 1958 Capitol album "Brief Interlude." Frank's Essex Productions concern was mentioned at the bottom of the label, which may explain his own vocal treatment (with lyrics by Sammy Cahn, not even crediting Mr. Cesana's music, from what I've seen). Cesana's "Hi" is perhaps better known to New Yorkers as the theme music for New York ...

It has expanded my love for Mr. Sinatra's music and I will enjoy these CD's for years to come. My next purchase will have to be the white caddie convertible and a home in Palm Springs. Rating: - Some great Sinatra Capitol YearsThis is an easy review to write. This is just some great music from the greatest jazz standards singer during his years at Capitol. Three C.D.s for a great price here on Amazon.com. It also has a nice thick booklet containing essays by various people. |
