Andre Kostelanetz Plays Cole Porter is a musical masterpiece of Porter arranged by Kostelanetz. As the liner notes emphasize, "Andre Kostelanetz has been having a wide-open romance with the music of Cole Porter for quite a long time. He finds a moving fascination in the melodies, holds a deep admiration for the imaginative lyrics, feels an affinity for the rosy glow the music creates. It all comes clear in the distinction if his arrangements, in the sonorities, in the subtleties he brings to each song to emphasize the lyrical magnificence inherent in the notes and the phrases. The Maestro figuratively plays the words."
