Free Music Review: It's Never Too Late to Love Kurt Weill
Hit: 5 Stars
What a pleasant surprise this new cast recording is. Donna Murphy and Michael Cerveris were the drawing cards here, as Kurt Weill has always been an acquired taste and familiar primarily to musical theater afficianados. His only "known" songs are included here ("September Song", "It Never Was You", "Speak Low" and his biggie "Mack the Knife" - done here with a German lyric) but the songs were all culled from various works and promised to be a bit of a muddle. No such case. The performances of Murphy and Cerveris and sharp and defined, and David Pittu also has many great moments. The addition of so much dialog to this recording aids in following a plot that the songs can't quite convey, but what performances. Murphy is the true star of the show here. She seems to do her best work with extreme and unconventional characters (this and "Passion" in particular) and her idiosynchratic approach to Lotte Lenya is both comical and touching in its directness. The "classics" are all done with great aplomb but other songs, in particular "It's Never to Late to Mendelssohn", "Surabaya Johnny" and "The Illusion Wedding Show" are examples of the breadth of Weill's accomplishments. The final cut, introducing "The Threepenny Opera", concludes with Murphy / Lenya exhorting, "Look...it's Mack...the knife!" The orchestra surges and the effect is chilling in its evocativeness of a timeless work and a group of timeless artists. While not for everyone's taste, this show deserved to run longer as its promise and the delivery on that promise elevate it to a status rarely found in commercial theater. A daring and honorable work, yes, but downright entertaining in every way. I "Love" this "Musik".
