Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The best of Weill.......2000-06-25

Very good CD. Good points: - Berlin+American theatre songs : complete panel of Weill's music on only 1 CD - Sung by Lenya (Weill's wife) : a reference - includes a booklet with the lyrics (which is not in sony heritage discs) "weak" points: - mono sound - does not include "vom ertrunkenen Mädchen", "Lied der fennimore", "Cäsars Tod", "Song of Ruth" => Excellent product for those who don't know Weill... but for the others too

4 out of 5 stars The best of Kurt Weill's songs by Lenya.......2000-06-25

You perhaps know the famous "September song" or "Mack the knife". This CD includes these songs, but other songs from Berlin & Broadway plays by Kurt Weill. Contrary to the SONY "Digipacks", you have a booklet with the lyrics in the box : this is very pratical, because Weill's music and the texts cannot be separated. Moreover, you have songs in the German and in the American styles on the same CD, performed by Lenya - The best for Weill -. But this CD is mono and you don't have all the berlin theater songs of the digipack (Silbersee..). Anyway, it's a real good product.
