Thoughts on new album ... ‘Bing At Christmas’ with the LSO
Generally speaking I am not overly fond of the concept of taking an original recording and altering it to have it nestled into some one else's arrangements or have a long dead vocalist or instrumentalist play along side someone living now. They have done with this Elvis, Glenn Gould, Sinatra, and probably many others, and now Bing. Kind of a gimmick if you ask me.
Here is the link to the upcoming album of Bing with the LSO

But despite how I generally view these things, I will give this a chance when it comes out. And if it wins over new fans for Bing Crosby, that's great too.

I agree if there are a few more Bing fans because of this issue, that is a win. However, upon hearing the recordings - I am not impressed personally. Just my opinion.
