Lotte Lenya & Kurt Weill - The seven deadly sins

El bueno de Paulo no tiene nada que hacer ante este nuevo "corralazo".
Y es que llevo enganchado al disco de Kurt Weill y Lotte Lennya toda la semanita. Aquí os coloco The Seven Deadly Sins junto con otras piezas de otras obras, la mayor parte de ellas basadas en libretos de un tal Bertolt Bretch. Muy del gusto tomwaits.
Los datos que siguen, de la wiki:
The Seven Deadly Sins was first performed in the Théatre des Champs-Elysées in Paris on 7 June 1933, with choreography by George Balanchine. The lead roles were played by Lotte Lenya (Anna I) and Tilly Losch (Anna II).Nils Grosch writes that it "was met with bewilderment by the French audience (not just because the work was sung entirely in German). German émigrés living in Paris, however, were enthusiastic and considered it 'a grand evening.'"The production went to London opening at the Savoy Theatre under the title Anna-Anna, on 28 June of the same year. It was revived by Lotte Lenya – Kurt Weill's widow – in the 1950s, however with the main singing part in version transposed to a fourth below its original pitch level which matched Lenya's new lower voice but didn't correspond to Weill's intentions.Another transposed version, down by a full octave, was used by Marianne Faithfull in her recording from 1997.
