Lenya works with a small ensemble on the theatre songs, recording in fairly close quarters (going by the photos in the booklet.) The recordings sound intimate, and have an impressive energy as a direct result.

Lenya sings the part of Anna, represented as Anna I and Anna II, a character in conflict with herself, her family, and even the extremes of morality.

 Lotte Lenya Sings Kurt Weill / Levine, Lenya, Armstrong, Gilford, et al   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Lenya is the quintessential Weill interpreter, as she was a performer on the Berlin stage in the late 1920s and many of Weill's German songs were specifically written to be performed by Lenya.
Lenya also sings most of her husband Kurt Weill's best known American theatre songs like "September Song," "Lost in the Stars," "Speak Low" and "The Saga of Jenny." Anyone who has ever heard Lenya sing knows that she has a unique voice - not pretty or always in perfect pitch.
