A
Deutsche Grammophon CD with works by Kurt Weill (1900-1950) sung by
Swedish mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter, accompanied by the NDR Sinfonieorchester under John Eliot Gardiner. Thirteen songs, including evergreens like My Ship, Surabaya-Johnny and I'm A Stranger Here Myself, as well as the complete The Seven Deadly Sins. If I could keep just one Kurt Weill CD, it would be this one. The cover photograph,
depicting a scene that could have been taken in a Berlin nightclub in
the 1920's, is by Denise Grünstein - a fabulous example of Chiaroscuro.
