This classic set, originally cut for the Choice label, presents a program of ballads exquisitely interpreted by singer Irene Kral and pianist Alan Broadbent. The tempos are all quite slow, but the emotional yet cool intensity given by Kral and Broadbent means that there are no slow moments. Among the songs given definitive and memorable treatment are Blossom Dearie’s “I Like You, You’re Nice” and Bob Dorough’s “Love Came on Stealthy Fingers”, “Never Let Me Go”, and especially “Spring Can Really Hang You up the Most”. This is a haunting program, Irene Kral’s best; it sticks in one’s memory long afterwards and can be considered one of the finest sets of ballads ever recorded. Essential music.

Recording: December 1974 at Wally Heider Studios by Gabby Garcia
