Frank Sinatra Conducts The Music of Alec Wilder

Album Notes & Community Reviews

The project champions the uniquely American classicism of an underappreciated composer, blending classical counterpoint with subtle jazz inflections. The surprising endeavor revealed the vocalist's deep, studied appreciation for complex instrumental orchestration.
