	Kurt Weill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kurt Julian Weill (March 2, 1900 – April 3, 1950), born in Dessau, Germany and died in New York City, was a German and later German-American composer of Jewish origin active from the 1920s until his death.
		Weill's music was admired by composers such as Alban Berg, Alexander von Zemlinsky, Darius Milhaud and Stravinsky, but it was also criticised by others - by Schoenberg, who later revised his opinion, and Anton Webern.
		Weill died in New York City in 1950 and is buried in Mount Repose Cemetery in Haverstraw, New York.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Kurt Weill
		Kurt Julian Weill (March 2, 1900 – April 3, 1950), born in Dessau, Germany and died in New York, was a German composer active from the 1920s until his death.
		Weill embraced jazz as "the rhythm of our time" and "an international folk music of the broadest consequence." The foxtrots, Bostons, Charlestons, and tangos that crept into his modernist musical language provided the perfect counterpoint to the brash colloquialisms of Brecht's new language.
		Performance of Kurt Weill's music is funded in part by the Kurt Weill Foundation for Music, a not-for-profit, private foundation chartered to preserve and perpetuate the legacies of Kurt Weill (1900-1950) and Lotte Lenya (1898-1981).

		In der Zusammenarbeit von Kurt Weill und Bertolt Brecht lag ein künstlerischer Glücksfall von ausgesprochener Einzigartigkeit vor.
		Kurt Weill fand in den genauen Typen der Brechtschen Figuren die Pendants für sein eigenes Bemühen um Direktheit der Aussage und Bertolt Brecht sah in Weill den Menschen, der seiner Vorstellung von Theater als einer "moralischen Anstalt", seiner schonungslosen Zeit- und Gesellschaftskritik, seinem humanitären Ethos die musikalische Untermalung gab.

		Doch diese Einengung tut dem Komponisten Kurt Weill Unrecht, denn seine kontrastierende Musiksprache erstaunt immer wieder durch die Vielseitigkeit, in der Avantgarde und Assimilation auf das selbstverständlichste miteinander verbunden sind.
		In Paris richtete Kurt Weill sein zweites Leben ein.
		Das war es überhaupt, was Weills ungebrochenen Erfolg ausmachte und immer noch ausmacht: Er vermochte sich musikalisch perfekt zu assimilieren, ohne dabei seine spezifische Klangsprache aufzugeben.

	Kurt Weill in America
		But as we celebrate the centenary of his birth and the semicentennial of his death, most people still tend to think of Weill as a "Brecht-composer," whereas he would probably have preferred to be remembered as a "Whitman-composer." However, America figured almost as prominently in Weill's works with Bertolt Brecht.
		Weill's wife, Lotte Lenya, remembered that "one or two Negro jazzbands played in Berlin and exerted a strong influence on composers and the instrumentalists of dance orchestras.
		If today we are finally beginning to comprehend Weill as a unitary figure, there will always remain within his legacy "the two Americas" he experienced -- the one he imagined from afar and the one he embraced from within.

	Tribute to Kurt Weill
		Kurt Weill was born in Desau, Germany in 1900, the son of a synagogue cantor.
		Weill came of age at the end of World War I, in a Europe that was both spiritually exhausted, ghastly, frightening, desperate -- and remarkably creative.
		Weill's lyricists were the greatest poets, novelists and playwrights, in at least three languages, of Europe and America.

	September Songs: the Music of Kurt Weill
		The socially aware savagery and bittersweet off-kilter art music of composer Kurt Weill seems to be on several people's minds of late.
		Weill became a criminal — an "anti-nationalist." He and his wife Lotte Lenya, the first singer to do his music justice, fled to America where Weill wrote for Broadway and beyond.
		To show all sides of Weill, director Weinstein rounds up the usual oddball suspects and asks them to pontificate madly and wriggle wildly around cheesy warehouse sets, mouthing the taut sarcastic words of Bertolt Brecht and the mordantly optimistic poetry of Sherwood Anderson.

		Lemper as the leading Kurt Weill interpreter since Lotte Lenya, Weill's wife and the singer for whom many of his vocal pieces were written.
		Weill's venue was not the opera stages of Berlin or Vienna, it was the popular stage, actually much closer to what we see in the movie `Cabaret' than what we see in `Amadeus'.

		Kurt Weills virke er jo ikke minst knyttet til teaterfornyeren Bert Brecht.
		Weills teatermusikk er blitt betegnet som mesterverker i ironisk tonekunst - selv i anerkjent populære komposisjoner som «September Song»; og «Speak Low» (fra hans USA-tid) tar fraser/harmonier uventede vendinger som fjerner sangene fra det konvensjonelt «flotte» og innsmigrende.

	kurt-weill Mp3 Albums Review
		'Lotte Lenya sings Kurt Weill's The Seven Deadly Sins and Berlin Theatre Songs' is a single CD combining two separate 1955 LPs recorded in Germany, five years after the death of husband and composer, Kurt Weill.
		As a lifelong Weill fan who has heard many different interpretations of these songs most notably from Ute Lemper and Maria Stratas, I was struck by how dramaticly better was Lenya's performance of the lyrics.
		As I am most familiar with female interpretations of Kurt Weill's songs, especially by the likes of his widow, Lotte Lenya and Weill interpreter extraordinare, Ute Lemper, I have to say that while Upshaw does them justice, she does ont outshine the very best Weill interpretations.

	Kurt Weill on Broadway (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		It would seem a bit disingenuous to criticize a disc called "Kurt Weill on Broadway" for excluding selections from "Die Dreigroschenoper," a work written in 1920's Berlin in a style so distinctly different from that of his Broadway years.
		'Kurt Weill on Broadway' sung by Thomas Hampson is a good Kurt Weill album, but not the best it could have been.
		I have a strong suspicion that rather than do a collection of those English stage songs for which Weill is best known, Hampson simply did a collection of songs by Kurt Weill in which Hampson has already performed.

	Moritat vom Kurt Weill: Tunes, Tomes, & Videos on TheaterMania.com
		Weill's own sense of humor was strong but sly in both conversation and song, and he certainly proved capable of dealing with the pompous Anderson.
		As detailed in the Hirsch biography, Weill was very often put out by the shenanigans of his librettists, as when Brecht went around claiming full credit for their work together or forcing wildly unfair royalties contracts on him.
		In America, it was the same, as Weill cotinually moved from collaborator to collaborator and from project to project.

		Kurt Weill said that every note he ever wrote he heard in the voice of Lotte Lenya.
		Weill, of course, was a three-strikes winner: a homosexual, a Jew, and a Communist.
		Neuwirth was far too young to see and hear Lenya in “Threepenny” on Christopher Street, but she has, of course, listened to Lenya on CD, and was herself a Pirate Jenny at ACT (American Conservatory Theatre) in San Francisco five years ago.
