Product description

Dive into the captivating world of Kurt Weill's timeless compositions with Ute Lemper's enchanting renditions in "Kurt Weill Vol.II: Happy End, Marie Galante & Lady in the Dark." This 1993 album, released under Decca Music Group Ltd., is a testament to Lemper's versatility and her deep connection with the Weimar Germany cabaret song tradition. The album spans three iconic works: "Happy End," "Marie Galante," and "Lady in the Dark," each offering a unique blend of drama, romance, and intrigue.

From the haunting melodies of "Bilbao Song" and "Surabaya Johnny" to the poignant ballads like "One Life to Live" and "My Ship," Lemper's voice breathes new life into Weill's masterpieces. Accompanied by the RIAS Sinfonietta Berlin under the direction of John Mauceri, the album is a symphony of emotions, expertly balancing the raw energy of cabaret with the sophistication of opera. With a total runtime of 59 minutes, this collection is a must-listen for fans of classical and operatic music, offering a rich tapestry of sound and storytelling that will leave you spellbound.
