What an amazing album..........what an amazing voice !
In all it's MONO-BEAUTY, Sinatra's "Where Are You?" is an album that verges on perfection! An album that is filled with that incredible creative Sinatra - lonely romanticism that only he can pull off.
I should probably tell you that I grew up in a house that played Sinatra all the time and hearing his voice again this clear harkens me back to my childhood and a place that was part Frank!
This was the FIRST album that Sinatra recorded with Gordon Jenkins and his orchestra and gave the world a little first glimpse into what was still to come!
The music is rich in texture and full of deep regret and longing....your heart will break listening to this album......
And now as for the sound.................well........daddy needs baby!!!!!!
Yup the sound of this MOFI SACD is gorgeous.......truely a beautiful disc! From the opening soft orchestral vibes of "Where Are You?" to the heart ripping "baby wont you please come home" Sinatra never sounded so clear and rich. Rob LoVerde at Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs has pulled off a little sonic magic on this SACD release! Sinatra's voice is less differentiated than the great Nat King Cole AP SACD's and his voice in contrast is closer to the orchestra. I think LoVerde did a great job in keeping Sinatra's voice mixed well with Jenkins and his orchestra. This is the way Sinatra would have wanted it and it does sound so well assembled.
