The Concert Sinatra features the singer in front of a larger than normal orchestra under the direction of Nelson Riddle. A remarkable album from the world's top MOR vocalist. (US:6 UK:8)
"This was Frank Sinatra's most fulfilling album of his early Reprise career."
"The Concert Sinatra is a short, richly musical set of classic theatre songs, some of which were milestones in Sinatra's earlier career. Here arranger Nelson Riddle is allowed to work with a large symphony orchestra and the results once more are a textbook example of fine orchestration."
"Sinatra is in fine voice throughout; no evidence here of the increasingly rough delivery which came to characterise his '60s output."
"This is an amazing collection of endearing songs, made more fabulous by Frank Sinatra - a must have."
"This one of Sinatra's most ambitious. Nelson Riddle leads a full orchestra in lush, symphonic arrangements that showcase his powerful voice and emotional gravitas."
"His vocals do equal the strength and power of the orchestration. Any fan of slow tempos, detailed arrangements and emotional singing will want to attend Sinatra's concert."
"I now consider this to possibly be the greatest Frank record ever, which in my opinion would make it one of the greatest records by anyone ever."
"It is impossible to listen to this album and not be astounded by what you're hearing, from the strength of Frank's voice to the depth and drama of Nelson Riddle's arrangements, to the sheer beauty of the material itself. It is, from start to finish, a masterpiece in every sense of the word."
