That's easy. The long departed Norwegian singer Radka Toneff's last album, "Fairytales." Out of print but still available NOS for a reasonable price from Elusive Disc.
It's just her and a pianist. The recording, mastering, and pressing qualities are all superb, and she had a style that really gets into your head. Her rendition of Jimmy Webb's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" is the best of all time and brings that song out as no one ever did.
She was a tortured soul. A year after she recorded this she walked deep into the woods, took all her psychotropic prescription drugs at once, and ended her life.
Bittersweet, but fantastic.
