Songs for Lovers

Songs for Lovers pairs Carlos Franzetti with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra for a lush album full of mood and subtlety. This recording finds the noted arranger/composer stepping up to the microphone for a classy collection of jazz standards and a few modern surprises. With Franzetti also handling all the orchestral arrangements in addition to providing the velvet-voiced crooning, the CD is similar to the work of late geniuses like Frank Sinatra and arranger Nelson Riddle.
