Frank Sinatra “Romance”
Frank Sinatra “Romance” (2002)… No one sings to love and heartbreak as Sinatra because he lived each of the stories he put his voice. For those who enjoy the old and good music, there is nothing more to move a finger and access the beauty universe that awaits on Frank’s records. You can enjoy ecstasy and desolation monuments without suffering side effects. Those of us who wanted to go beyond and dive in the biography of the voice inevitably encounter the scaffolding not always pleasant that support the songs that put our soundtrack to our kisses; Listening to love songs becomes an experience that condenses a whole relationship, with all its ingredients, in small doses of three or four minutes. It is a recommended journey only to the bravest or the craziest.
“Sinatra Romance” (Reprise, 2002) is a feast for the senses now that the calendar says that one must love each other.
It is a double compact Disc with fifty love songs recorded between 1953 and 1979, among which we can find not only the omnipresent “Strangers in the night”, “Something Stupid” and “I’ve Got You Under My Skin”; The repertoire includes pieces that rarely make its appearance in a compilation, such as “You and the Night and the Music” (1960), “When Somebody Loves You” (1965), “Cycles” (1968) and the first of his versions of George Harrison’s “Something”, dated in 1970. In this album we have a wide and detailed panoramic of the way he sang to the petals and thorns of love, covering the naif and poetic approach of the American Songbook classics and the realistic and resigned portrait of the sixties.
This collection will mainly interest the casual listener of Sinatra, but collectors will assess the beautiful libretto illustrated with black and white photos and phrases of Frank himself and some of his most relatives, as well as the electronic duet between Sinatra and Céline Dion in “All The Way “(although purists will hate the latter). There is a deluxe version-that I have- with a third disc that is nothing less than “Frank Sinatra Live in Paris”, with a concert recorded in the French capital on June 26, 1962, all presented in a well crafted hard cardboard case, with a sober and elegant design.
Over the years many compilations of Romantic themes of Sinatra have come out, but this is the most recommended, precisely because its creators put a lot of love of the task, selecting normally forgotten music and taking care of every detail of the design.
