Essential Threepenny Opera recording

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is the essential 3PO recording. Lotte Lenya put this German recording together in Berlin in 1958 after the Broadway revival of 1954. You get the translation along with the CD--so you must hear it in German. Lenya recreates the original style (the "singing actors") of the 1928 Berlin production. Don't worry. The cast and orchestra are excellent and show how German dance music and jazz sounded in the Weimar Republic. Soon you will not need to worry about English Translation. The Opera also gives you an accessible version of Brecht drama with this great Weil music. Wilhelm Bruckner-Ruggeberg, the music director, deserves special mention. He also did an excellent recording with Lenya, "Lotte Lenya sings Kurt Weill's The Seven Deadly Sins & Berlin Theatre Songs" (originally two records now on one CD) which gives you most of the other essential Weil songs in German not in the 3PO. Lenya's high soprano of the 20s, however, has deepened in the 50s after exile, a world war, and a lot of cigarettes and booze. However, Lenya takes you back to Berlin in the 20s. My father bought the 3PO recording 60 years ago. I never heard anything else like it.

Operas should be heard in their original language, and Die Dreigroschenoper is no exception. (An accompanying booklet contains the German libretto and English and French translations.) And with the great Lotte Lenya (who was married to Kurt Weill -- twice) singing the part of Jenny, and supervising the entire production, this version can't be beat.
P.S.: Donald Spoto, in his excellent biography of Lenya, calls this recording "a treasure." And so it is.

I owned this performance on vinyl 40 years ago and was pleased how crisp and clear this edition remained. Haunting songs especially as the wealth divide is widening in the 21st century.

This is the Threepenny Opera done right. If you love this music, this recording is a must, even if you have the recording of the Blitzstein English adaptation. Great as Blitzstein's version is, you don't get the full pungency of this incredible work without hearing it in German.

A wise play of dissonances!

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2008

The composer wrote these opportune and key words about this opera. "This work inscribes itself into a movement in which actually participate almost the totality of the young composers. The renounce to the art by the art, the sacrifice of the individuality of the artist, the idea of making music for movies, the ties with the young musical movements and as consequence of all this, the simplification of the expressive mediums, are all stages of a same road."

Kurt Weill's grandness has quickly gained and forcefully a well deserved in the status of the great composers of the last century. Fifty years were strong enough to portrait and describe with such realism the ambiance of Germany during the twenties and thirties, where the sadness was masked of untrue sensuality and the light of life was turning in the bleakest night, surrounded of false promises and blackish future.

Themes such as Barbara song, Ballad of the sexual slavery, Tango ballad, jenny of the pirates, Moritat, Salomon (with its forceful elusive sadness) or The ballad of comfortableness are part whether or not, part of the recent history, that must and needs to be listened again, unprovided of the stylistics formulas of the music for consume to express in this sense the genuine sap of the composer at its historical moment.

Times of dissonance and unsaid indifference before the times to come are underlined and magisterially depicted sine the first to the last rack of this memorable album. "The three penny opera" is perhaps the best known of the operas of Kurt Weill; soloists and conductors show with supreme loftiness and unsurpassed crudeness.

A fabulous album in which you will be involved since the first second of this spelling sound, filled of a poetic bitterness and vast silence of ontological loneliness.
