Weill and Brecht
Ute Lemper burst onto the international scene in the late 80's with her recordings of Kurt Weill's cabaret songs. The star chanteuse explores the short but intensely fruitful collaboration of Kurt Weill and Berthold Brecht with original, historic recordings and modern renditions of some of their most powerful music.
