The last studio recording of the greatest crooner of the 20th century
Completed in London just one month before his death, this work is a masterpiece that marks the end of his career, and is filled with vocals that reached the height of his maturity.
This is a fulfilling performance from vocal giant Bing Crosby. Pete Moore's sophisticated orchestra envelops his warm baritone, creating a rich, lingering sound. The opening track, "Seasons," resonates with mature emotion and steady rhythm, carefully depicting the subtleties of life through a song themed around the four seasons. The Jonny Evans Singers' chorus adds a touch of elegance to this monumental album, reaching no. 25 in the UK charts.
