No lyrics enclosed.......2007-07-09

It is a disgrace that there are no lyrics enclosed. This is NOT a budget cd.

Superb.......2007-06-27

This is one of the best recordings of Kurt Weill ever and one of the best recordings of the magnificent Teresa Stratas.

Stratas is good. Others are better........2005-10-08

'The Unknown Kurt Weill' sung by Maria Stratas is a fine recording. The problem is that there are many fine recordings of Kurt Weill songs done by Lotte Lenya and several other Weill specialists, lead by Ute Lemper and Gisela May.

So, this album may be valuable if indeed it included a lot of numbers which do not appear on other recordings, but that is not the case either. On my collection of about ten (10) disks, not including recordings from specific shows, I have other recordings of at least half of these songs.

I really think Weill's legacy is better served by recordings who do his complete works rather than 'interesting' selections of his songs.

This is a good, enjoyable recording. I listen to it at least once a year, but it is not as good as other Weill records.

STRATAS WALKS THE RAZORýS EDGEý.......2003-07-11

I don't review many classical recordings - but this one, from 1981, has always been one of my favorite Weill collections, and after reading the rather negative comments from one reviewer, I felt I had to add my two cents' worth to the fray. Everyone is of course entitled to his or her own opinion - and music in SUCH a subjective topic that this should go without saying.

I've been a bug admirer of Weill's work - particularly his collaborations with Brecht - for years. His songs tread the thin, tricky line between classical and cabaret more daringly that most. Brecht's collaborations with Hanns Eisler, for example, are closer to the theatrical than are Weill's. In my humble opinion, Stratas walks this `razor's edge' very nimbly on this recording - her voice is obviously a finely trained instrument, but she is also able of conveying a lot of feeling and emotion with these lyrics. Her choice - or perhaps the producer's - of accompanying here with only a piano is a good one. Woitach does a fine job - and the recording itself is crystal-clear.

My only real complaint with the cd version of this album is the size of the type in the liner notes - Nonesuch could have easily `sprung' for a lengthier booklet, to allow us `old fogies' the opportunity to read it without a magnifier, and also to include the lyrics and translations. I can't recall for certain if the lp version offered the lyrics, but I believe it did. At any rate, these complaints are indeed small ones - this is a timeless, beautiful recording, and one that any fan of Weill's work should at least hear.

Leave Weill enough alone ..........2000-07-08

I don't know just what Lotte Lenya said on her deathbed, but I personally feel that other singers carry the torch for Kurt Weill as well or better than Teresa Stratas. Of all my Weill albums, this one gives me the least pleasure. The German is bad, the interpretations are shrill and forced. Some of the tracks are almost unlistenable. Was Teresa Stratas simply the first world class singer to rediscover this body of work? Was Lenya giving her a sympathy vote? I love Stratas' singing elsewhere, in the Boulez recording of Lulu (for example), but she is no good here.

For a newcomer to Weill, I highly recommend Anna Sophie Von Otter (excellent in every way) or even Ute Lemper's entertaining album. For that matter, go back and pick up Lotte Lenya's remastered Threepenny Opera -- it doesn't get much better than that. This Weill album, however, is tellingly named: it deserves to be unknown.

Customer Reviews:

Biblical Songs and Spirituals.......2001-04-13

This is an amazing album. I've never heard anyone sing like this. The songs are beautiful, complex and rebellious. The images in them are as glorious as any found in any literature. My favourite is the description of Noah's dove folding his wings and singing as he lands on the hill after the Flood, which is found in 'Turkle Dove'. The songs also hold memories of African stories and gods. Jesus as he appears in these songs very much in the image of an African holy man. John Davis sings of 'Jesus the magic man:' "Jesus Christ was a doctor/ And he turned the water to wine./ What a mighty doctor." Lomax, as he explains in the liner notes, has not taken a purist approach in recording these songs. He has recorded these songs taught to the singers by their grandparents, many of whom were slaves and which are absolutly part of an authentic oral tradition. (Primary sources from the time of the Civil War confirm this.) However, in making these recordings Lomax has added traditional instrumentalists from a range of places, including the Bahamas, which add new influences. (Lomax makes an interesting case for doing this.) I love these recordings.

correct spelling on my previous review please.......2000-11-23

Hey I miss spelled hear, spelling it here. It is driving me crazy on my review. Could you please correct it! Thanks it is embarrrassing. Happy Thanksgiving!

PURE,STRONG,BEAUTIFUL.......2000-06-21

There is something about hearing a voice recorded back in time that tells more about a people than anything you can read in a book. These beautiful, strong and rich voices from the past are something every person should here. What a pleasure! Bessie Jones singing O Death. OH MY! She is a national treasure! Growing up in Georgia I have heard some of these songs sung on St.Simons Island and the power and feeling they evoke are pure and deeply spiritual. It's that deep spiritual center in all humanbeings that these voices sing from.These singers just seem to be a little closer than most of us to that essence. hehe Get this CD. It will make you think about your life and remember theirs. Or forget anything deep about it and just enjoy!

Someone with an ear for the real Hawaiian sound picked the selections for this CD. You get a taste of the current Hawaiian soundwaves, with a heavy dose of virtuoso slack key as the steady undercurrent. Ku'u Home O Kahaluu, by Olomana, will take your breath away, and leave you longing for another visit to paradise.

Awesome!.......2005-04-20

This collection of songs combines a balance of environmental action and deep awareness of nature and the role humans are called to play as members of the Earth community. My personal favorites are "Expanding Universe" and "Lay Down Your Whopper" which I have enjoyed with groups of humans of all ages.

Kids of all ages will love this.......2002-04-20

I have been a big fan of Dana Lyons's music since 1978, when I was a college freshman and Dana was my college roommate. (Ok, so I will admit that I am biased but ...) This collection of songs by Dana and friends comes the closest of any recording to capturing the absolute blast that audiences get from Dana's live performances. My three kids love this CD, and I do too. Our favorite song is Recycle Wrap, which we sing while we take out the recycling on Thursday nights. If you want your kids (or anyone else you love, including yourself) to have a CD of songs that are fun and funny (and yet still thought-provoking at times), get this CD.

Its realy funny and great........1998-09-14

I thought that it was a great cd and it was very very funny. And id like to thank Dana Lyons for doing that cd.
