Frank Sinatra - Capitol Years
via Qobuz
During dinner, we put on this set.
136 minutes of Ol' Blue Eyes!
In Frank Sinatra's vast career, the Capitol years are a kind of zenith. Between 1953 and 1961, after Columbia but before Reprise, the star recorded the blueprint for the art of the crooner. This volume of the BD Music collection brings together some of Sinatra's most beautiful songs from his albums Songs For Young Lovers, Swing Easy, In the Wee Small Hours and Songs for Swingin' Lovers. These four masterpieces were conceived between 1953 and 1956 with conductor and arranger Nelson Riddle. The complicity between the singer and the musician gave birth to these marvels of languid romanticism. Sinatra's golden voice finds the perfect setting in Riddle's strings. And on In the Wee Small Hours, the greatest concept-album of all time about the break-up of a love affair, the duo surpasses itself without any fault of taste weighing down the works!
