Ute Lemper Sings Kurt Weill

Songs to texts by Bertolt Brecht and others

Ute Lemper is internationally renowned for her interpretations of Kurt Weill's songs spanning his German, French and American periods. One of the most acclaimed Weill interpreters of her generation, she has long been an ambassador for this singular composer and his music. As a committed storyteller and historian, she takes the audience on a journey through Weill's life - through the painful and glorious times he experienced as a composer, and through his existence as a Jewish man in a world that confronted him with its hardest challenges.
