Listen "Kurt Weill invents a new musical language for the Weimar stage"
Episode Synopsis
Many years ago, I started my musical career singing, or maybe I should say screaming, with a Punk band, then eventually, through some very complicated in-between steps, I ended singing Opera, then on to musical theatre, then swinging it with jazz groups, and nowadays, mostly, I’m singing my own original songs. However through all of that, I've been enchanted, inspired, and more than a little obsessed, by the music of Kurt Julien Weill. I've sung Weill’s music in lovely concert halls and dark saloons, I've sung his music accompanied by rock guitar, punk bands and jazz quartets, and I've never grown tired of his songs. And I believe that is because Kurt Weill was a wild and crazy Kabarett Punk Rocker, and that’s what I intend to prove in this episode.
