FRANK SINATRA-THE WORLD WE KNEW
REPRISE 1022
PERFORMANCE:ONE MAN'S FAMILY
RECORDING:SUPERB
STEREO QUALITY: EXCELLENT
This is surely one of the most beautifully
produced albums that Frank Sinatra has ever
made. While the three bands conducted and
arranged by Gordon Jenkins-"This Is My Love,"
"You Are There" and "Born Free"- seem to
have a slight edge over the work of Ernie
Freeman, Billy Strange and Claus Ogerman,
this whole album is a really superior production job.
A special nod should go to the two engineers,
Eddie Brackett and Phil Ramone. They have
lent a remarkably spacious sound to the
large accompanying orchestra, yet kept
Sinatra's voice intimate without over-miking-
a rare achievement indeed in these days of
thousand-piece orchestras in the sky and
the star soloist's tiniest exhalations evenly
divided between speakers.
Sinatra is in very good voice and form
here. He does a lithe and lovely job on
"This Is My Song," a piece of sentimental
claptrap that is quite affecting as sung
here. "Somethin' Stupid," performed in
tandem with his daughter Nancy, is an
unabashed delight, and for me the best
thing on the album. Not very much else
to report-except that Sinatra's vocal
condition seems to vary enormously
from album to album, that he is one
of a handful of the great popular
entertainers of our time, and that
his decision to record "Some Enchanted
Evening" in the version offered here
with a Las-Vegas-type arrangement
by H.B. Barnum(he sounds like a
cheap parody of himself) was a gross
error in judgment.
