Free Music Notes for Lotte Lenya Sings Kurt Weill / Levine, Lenya, Armstrong, Gilford, et al

Free Music Review: Lost in the Stars
Hit: 5 Stars

Lenya--like Callas--was more than a singer. She became the characters, and poured her life of pain and joy into every note. Lenya could not have sung as she did, had she not lived in the dark 1920's Berlin.

Hearing her for the first time can be startling: coarse, cigarette-stained. Bleak, heartless. Or painfully vulnerable. The bitter-sweet "It Never Was You" is true love. Practically screaming in "Trouble Man." Rollicking in "So What!"

And as others have mentioned, toward the end hearing Louis Armstrong COACHING Lenya on "Mack the Knife," which she and Weill created--and Lenya taking laughing graciously along.

The is required listening, just as "Seven Deadly Sins and Berlin Theatre Songs." I envy the person who meets Lenya the first time. Unique. Phenomenal. Incomparable.

Lotte Lenya Sings Kurt Weill / Levine, Lenya, Armstrong, Gilford, et al Poster

The voice of Lotte Lenya--filled with a bittersweet tone, slight imperfections, and that unmistakable accent--is something you either love or hate. But decades later, the former wife of Kurt Weill still has a voice we can't forget. Simply put, nothing compares to Lenya. This reissue gathers her English-language September Song and Other American Theater Songs album from 1958 (for the first time here, heard in its stereo version) as well as her tunes from 1957's Cabaret; "Song of a German Mother" from the Broadway show Brecht on Brecht; and even a collaboration with Louis Armstrong on "Mack the Knife." These recordings were the cornerstone of Lenya's American career, and even with pop orchestration--"Saga of Jenny," "Green Up Time," "Speak Low"--these are infectious numbers. Like the previously released Sony Masterworks reissue of Lotte Lenya Sings Kurt Weill's Seven Deadly Sins, this is simply a great package. The sound quality is excellent and the eight-minute-long session outtake from "Mack the Knife" with Armstrong is truly fascinating. --Jason Verlinde
