Sinatra Sings Rodgers & Hammerstein

A fine collection of songs from some of Broadway's most memorable shows, sung by Frank Sinatra in the '40s and early '50s. This Columbia release showcases a rarity--the full length "Soliloquy" from Carousel, in which Sinatra performs the complete bridge between the two songs--a version available only on this disc and on John Raitt's original Broadway show recording. The record finds Sinatra in strong form, with equally memorable versions of "If I Loved You," "Some Enchanted Evening," and "We Kiss in a Shadow." --Stephen M.H. Braitman
