     Kurt Weill anticipated in this repertoire some of the same thoughts that lie behind the formation of Orchestra USA. By 1927, when the first of these compositions was written, Weill was one of the established young serious composers in Germany. But he was also deeply interested in the popular music of his time, including American Jazz as he herd it on records...Weill's music made deliberate use of the materials of cabaret and dance music, just as Brecht's librettos used the speech cadences of the man in the stree.
Zwerin tried to keep this feeling by using the melody as background for the improvising soloist are often closely related to the melody of the song.

     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.(Scott Yanow-allmusic.com)
