About "Lonely Town (From "On the Town") [Arr. for Violin & Orchestra]" by David Zinman
Bernstein's 'Lonely Town' arrives as a violin's soliloquy, orchestrated into a noirish ache. The tune walks empty streets—plaintive, unhurried—its melody a streetlamp's glow on wet pavement, loneliness rendered as a city that never quite sleeps.
