I bought "You Make Me Feel So Young" on iTunes. It's nice, but the song definitely works way better with Sinatra singing and his original arrangement.

Yes, it's one of my all-time favorites. And sometimes I have the feeling that I am the only one who feels that way because no one ever talks about it! :P

My favorite tracks (although the entire album is outstanding):

Mack the Knife (absolutely love the piano accompaniment when the melody is repeated at the beginning!)

Fly me to the Moon

Witchcraft

Summerwind

Night and Day

New York, New York

I think this might be my favorite BPO album with non-JW stuff on it.

Why just this track? It's good, but not the best, by far.

Should have had that song that Williams once wrote for Sinatra, but which he to my knowledge never came to perform. Name escapes me at the moment.

What are the arrangements like? I'm always cautious about these sort of tribute compilation money-spinners. I heard JW do an Andrew Lloyd Webber cover and it was a cheese-fest.

I would definitely give this a try. In my opinion, this one's a winner. One of the best of this type.

Orchestral arrangements are very complex, but never needlessly so.
