Es fácil darse una alegría en estos tiempos. Si une la calidad suprema de Frank Sinatra a la tecnología DVD, ya tiene la mejor colección de actuaciones en directo del genio de New Jersey: "The Frank Sinatra Collection". Una colección en DVD de cuatro especiales de televisión de Frank Sinatra. Un lujo para todos los buenos aficionados a la música americana.
No deje pasar la oportunidad. Ya debería estar perdiendo el culo para conseguir esta impresionante colección que nos permite disfrutar del mejor Sinatra en directo.
Unos antecedentes básicos, y al lío: "A Man And His Music' fue el primer especial televisado, emitido en 1965 por la NBC para conmemorar el 50 cumpleaños del artista. Este espectacular show incluye temas como "I've Got You Under My Skin," "I Get A Kick Out Of You," "Come Fly With Me" y "The Lady Is A Tramp." Me quedo sin palabras, sin aire, necesito tomar aliento. Pedazo de clásicos inmortales que nadie canta como Frank.
Sigamos, no se distraigan: "A Man And His Music Ella Jobim' / 'Francis Albert Sinatra Does His Thing' / 'Sina" presenta tres especiales televisivos de los años 60 y cuenta con la colaboración de dos artistas de renombre internacional: Ella Fitzgerald y Antonio Carlos Jobim.
'Sinatra: The Man And His Music (1981, NBC)' fue grabado 16 años después del primer especial A Man And His Music, y algunas semanas después de su 66 cumpleaños.
'Concert For The Americas (1982, Showtime)' fue grabado en el Anfiteatro Altos de Chavón, un recinto de 5000 localidades al aire libre en la República Dominicana. Esta actuación épica y magistral de 90 minutos incluye al legendario Buddy Rich a la batería y la colaboración especial del guitarrista Tony Mottola en una memorable reedición de 'Send In The Clowns'.
En suma, consiga esta colección y déjese llevar por la voz de Sinatra y lo sentimientos que logra despertar. Les dejo los contenidos de estos DVDs para que vayan abriendo los oídos.
