What a wonderful way to wake! My alarm is set to WNYC and what do I hear this morning but Ute's voice. Thrilled to listen to show and will download onto my ipod to share with my beloved who I will visit over Thanksgiving the The Hague. Excited about the trip but sad to give away my tickets to Ute at Joe's Pub on the 24th.
Ute Lemper is fabulous. These segments are some of the best work to come out of WNYC in a long time.
Keep it up.
I agree completely with the previous comments. I love Ute Lemper's segments on Evening Music this week. Hearing Weimar cabaret on Wednesday night, and then contemporary artists on Berlin on Thursday, I had the kind of magical, unexpected radio experience that seems rare these days. Bravo and thank you to Ute Lemper, and to WNYC for inviting her to host!
Best Evening Music segments ever!!
This has been a wonderful week of radio thanks to Ute Lemper. Such intelligence, ability to communicate and fantastic choice of music. Thank you!
Wonderful, wonderful!
How can I get hold of Ute's "Selma" album, put together by the Swiss group?
Indeed. Ute's shows have been fantastic. please please try to bring her back for more! anyone who can go from piaf to bukowski in the same show has my vote every time :-)
Encore, Encore! Listening on Friday, November 9, 2007, to this wonderfully entertaining and intimate show which I cannot tear myself away from. Loved the "Der Abend" piece, so sweet but heartwrenching. Leo Ferre was also incredible. Glad to hear you love NY, Ute, and glad to hear you're sticking around! Brava and kudos to you.
Hope you'll be posting the playlist soon
These were teriffic shows and Ute Lemper was wonderful. So fun, such great music! I went out of my to catch her show every night this week and am a brand new fan. Thank you WNYC. Programs like this make me proud to be a member.
I learned about this series last night. It's a treat, as I'm a big fan of Weill, Weimar cabaret music, and Lemper (I have a number of her CDs).
I hope you keep this series available online for awhile.

I really enjoyed the anecdotes Ute gave of some of her own experiences in the Kabarett realm and the explanations of the historical context from which the songs she played came from.
my only complaint is that all of the programs did not come with playlists.
Is there a playlist for the international cabaret program available?
