THE FRANK SINATRA CHRISTMAS COLLECTION

New Recording of "Silent Night" – Accompanied by Sinatra’s Band – Highlights The Frank Sinatra Christmas Collection

The yuletide spirit shines bright this season with the release of THE FRANK SINATRA CHRISTMAS COLLECTION. The career-spanning album features 18 holiday classics from pop music’s preeminent performer, including three previously unavailable tracks—highlighted by a very special, brand new recording of "Silent Night."

Appearing as the final track on THE FRANK SINATRA CHRISTMAS COLLECTION, "Silent Night" was built upon Sinatra’s last Christmas vocal sessions. The new arrangement was put together by the great Johnny Mandel and was recorded in March of this year with Frank Sinatra Jr. conducting an orchestra featuring a celebrated cast of former Sinatra studio and touring musicians who gathered to accompany Ol’ Blue Eyes on one final recording.

Prior to laying down his vocal on "Silent Night" in August 1991, Sinatra had not entered a studio for more than three years.

Two all-time holiday favorites are being released on CD for the first time–"The Christmas Song" and "White Christmas" (both arranged by the legendary Nelson Riddle and performed with Bing Crosby)—in versions taken from the 1957 ABC special Happy Holidays With Bing & Frank, which aired only once, on December 20th of that year.
