TONE POEMS OF COLOR, conducted (ostensibly) by Frank Sinatra, is a collection of lovely short orchestral works. Eight accomplished Hollywood composers, including Sinatra arrangers Alec Wilder, Gordon Jenkins, Nelson Riddle and Billy May, contribute.
Jenkins's "Green", a yearning romantic melody for strings, will immediately please. Riddle's "Gold" is a Ravellian bolero and his "Orange" begins as if it were Les Baxter exotica and finishes like a Broadway show tune. May's "Purple" begins quietly, only halfway through arriving at the big brassy sound one would expect from him - and then doesn't linger there.
Film score fans will appreciate the Victor Young, Elmer Bernstein and Andre Previn compositions. All three of these Hollywood giants deliver signature sounds. Young's "Black", for strings with piano accompaniment, is broad, deep and dark. Previn's "Red" is the album's most melodramatic and "filmy" track. For me, the biggest surprise in this collection is Bernstein's "Silver", which sounds a little like Ravel's "La Valse" conjoined with an edit from THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM! Lesser known is Jeff Alexander. His "Yellow" is especially playful and showy.
Some might quip that an album of music conducted by Sinatra is about as much good as one of Nelson Riddle singing. That would miss the point, wouldn't it? This is appealing music and if we learn of it through Sinatra's involvement that's a good thing.
