A leading connoisseur of the Great American Songbook, singer Michael Feinstein has made a brilliant career of performing forgotten treasures by the likes of the Gershwins, Cole Porter, and Irving Berlin. His latest album, The Sinatra Project, is a tribute not only to Ol’ Blue Eyes, but to arrangers Nelson Riddle and Billy May. Recorded live in the same studio as Sinatra’s classic Capitol Records-era hits like Come Fly With Me and Only the Lonely, the album features new arrangements of classic songs—plus two undiscovered tunes Sinatra never got around to recording. Celebrating his 25th anniversary as a performer, Feinstein brings this vibrant project to life with a blazing big band and his own inimitable panache.

“From the first notes played by the violas, one could predict that a special music event was about to start. And an evening of wonderfully played music was what the audience got at the Moscow State Radio Symphony Orchestra concert…” —The Palm Beach Daily News
The Moscow State Radio Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1978 as an outgrowth of the need for the symphonic repertoire of the 18th, 19th and 20th, centuries to be broadcast throughout Russia for the benefit of its citizens. It was decided that the Orchestra should broadcast performances on a weekly basis.
Presently the Orchestra follows the European music tradition and does not have a permanent Chief Conductor. Music Director Anatoli Nemudrov invites maestros from Russia and abroad in order to facilitate the continuing development and mastery of the musicians.
