Info for Moonlight Sinatra
This 1965 album was another one of Sinatra's 'theme' albums, and a beautiful one at that. With Neslon Riddle's excellent arrangements, Moonlight Sinatra (get it?) features 10 beautifully performed songs that have the word 'moon' in their title ('Moonlight Becomes You', 'Moonlight Serenade', 'Oh, You Crazy Moon', etc). This is Sinatra as laid back and comfortable as possible, enjoying the romantic spirit of the songs.
It's been a timeless symbol in all the arts for centuries: the moon. Poets, authors and songwriters have expended untold amounts of energy trying to convey the mystical aura and metaphysical connections evoked by that pale, barren globe that orbits our planet. It's only fitting, then, that the finest popular vocalist of the twentieth century should step up to the plate, with an album full of songs that explore lunar images as seen through the eyes of popular song's greatest composers.
Reaching back to his big band days, Sinatra comes up with a distinctive reading of Glenn Miller's luxuriant, swaying 'Moonlight Serenade.' He sets his swoon gun on 'stun' for the Van Heusen/Burke evergreen 'Moonlight Becomes You.'
Irving Berlin's astrological issues are addressed with aplomb as Sinatra tackles 'Reaching For The Moon.' Ultimately, „Moonlight Sinatra“ fits in nicely with the singer's other concept albums, and it provides us with a fresh perspective on the tunes chosen for inclusion. Includes liner notes by Stan Cornyn.
