Cole Porter’s “Longing For Dear Old Broadway” and “When All’s Said and Done” will receive their world premiere recordings on bass-baritone Wilfried Van den Brande’s five disc set – The Cole Porter Sessions – now available for digital download. The discs also feature the Nueremberg Symphony Orchestra and the J. Machtel Quartet. Daniel Capelletti has provided the orchestral arrangements.
