Comments and Reviews

jaimeeduardo 7th Feb 2014		This German language ballad opera was written in 1928, revived in New York in 1954. Some of the music became especially popular in the 1950s- Bobby Darin reached Billboard #1 with Mack the Knife in 1959; several instrumental discs charted, including Dick Hyman's Moritat (A Theme from The Three Penny Opera) in 1956. While the original opera has spare and bleak qualities, the popular hit versions are far happier, or wistful and sentimental. For fans of Liane Augustin, this album will represent a radical, perhaps disappointing, departure from her usual sentimental songs. Also notable is the appearance of Helge Roswænge, a famous operatic tenor from decades earlier appearing here in a very different kind of music. "Vanguard Theatre Showcase."
