Recorded in 1955, this superbly arranged and sung set of slow ballads can lay claim to being the world’s first ‘concept album.’ Of course, in classical music, song cycles had been around since Schubert, but a whole set of pop tunes arranged around a central theme or mood was something new in popular music. With the advent of the LP in 1953, commercial pop music was beginning to take itself seriously.As to be expected, Frank Sinatra did it first and best. Sinatra is in utter command of this material vocally relaxed yet focused on conveying what these hand-picked ‘torch’ songs still have to say to the modern listener. Throughout he projects his signature manly vulnerability without seeming maudlin or even sentimental. The singer is helped immeasurably in this task by Nelson Riddle’s deftly scored chamber arrangements which include brilliant use of celeste and guitar on several tracks (cf. Alec Wilder’s ‘I’ll Be Around’, Kay Swift’s ‘Can’t We Be Friends’.) A must for any listener even remotely interested in the Great American Songbook.
