Harry Connick, Jr.
Steinway Artist Harry Connick, Jr.'s album True Love: A Celebration of Cole Porter finds Connick playing piano, singing, orchestrating, arranging and conducting. He speaks to Soundboard producer/host Ben Finane — Editor in Chief at Steinway’s award-winning online music magazine listenmusicculture.com — about the genius of Cole Porter and takes us on a deep dive into his original arrangements.
‘Because of the craftsmanship Cole Porter used to write these songs, not only will they last forever, but they’re perfect for interpretation.’
