In 1945, Frank Sinatra recorded his first album, after a career
previously devoted solely to single records. Over two sessions, he
performed the eight songs included in The Voice of Frank Sinatra,
which Columbia Records released as a four-disc set of 78-rpm records
on March 4, 1946. The collection quickly topped the recently
established Billboard album chart. The Voice of Frank Sinatra was a
precursor to the "concept" albums Sinatra would pioneer at Capitol
Records eight years later, a carefully chosen and arranged selection
of songs creating a specific mood. In this case, arranger/conductor
Axel Stordahl used a string quartet and a rhythm section, with
occasional added instruments, to create settings for a group of
classic ballads, all from the 1920s and '30s. Sinatra took the
material very seriously, singing the love lyrics with utter
seriousness. His singing and the classically influenced settings gave
the songs unusual depth of meaning. Despite its initial popularity,
The Voice of Frank Sinatra went out of print when the 12" LP era got
underway in the mid-'50s. Columbia/Legacy has wisely brought it out of
mothballs for this reissue in the CD era, giving the album the "bonus
tracks" treatment, which, in this case, means more than doubling the
length of the original 24-minute, eight-song album to 55 minutes and
18 tracks. The compilers have chosen well from similar recordings made
by Sinatra in a group of 1947 sessions, including several that feature
the same instrumentation and musical approach. To the Gershwin and
Porter songs from the original album are added tunes by Berlin and
Rodgers & Hart, among others. Six of the ten additions are previously
unreleased takes of the songs that are nearly identical to the
released masters (these are safeties, not faulty performances), and
allow the compilers to present material in higher sound quality. The
result is an even better version of what was already one of Sinatra's
most impressive early packages, and a largely lost one at that.
