Podcasts about Kurt Weill

The collaboration between Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht is rightly legendary. The two men could not have been more different from each other, and like the Brahms/Joachim relationship I mentioned in my recent show about the Brahms Double concerto, the friendship between Weill and Brecht was stormy to say the least. The two collaborated on some of the most memorable works of the Weimar era in Germany, such as the Threepenny Opera, which features a pretty famous tune called Mack the Knife. Their final collaboration was on the “sung ballet” The Seven Deadly Sins. This is a piece that was written at a point of remarkably high tension within Weimar Germany. On an artistic level, the 1920s and early 1930s had seen a veritable explosion in the world of culture, with art, dance, theater, and music all featuring artists who were pushing the boundaries with wild experimentation and a kind of ecstatic fervor that produced some of the world's greatest and most memorable cultural achievements. On a parallel track however, the rise of the Nazis cast a pall over all of this. By 1933, both Brecht and Weill(who was Jewish) knew that Germany was not a place that they could stay safely. Weill ended up in Paris and then in the US for the rest of his life, while Brecht bounced around Europe before returning to East Germany after the war, hoping to be a part of the Marxist Utopia that he believed had been founded there.  The simmering combination of Weill's mastery of transforming popular forms into a unique kind of classical music along with Brecht's pointed satire and brilliantly inventive libretti resulted in the Seven Deadly Sins, a piece that that brutally satirizes extreme capitalism and the degradation of the human soul that supposedly results from it. This is a nakedly political piece, and I should make it clear that by talking about it, by choosing to feature it on the show, and by regularly performing it, I don't necessarily endorse its views. Brecht was extreme in all ways, as we'll get to today, and the power of this piece in my opinion doesn't come from its politics, but from its remarkable and devastating portrayal of a human soul and the tragedies that can befall it. This is one of my favorite pieces of the whole 20th century, and I'm so happy to share it with you today. Join us!

Concert will benefit Beacon exchange program Ten years ago, singer and actor Kelly Ellenwood lost her voice after contracting whooping cough, an ironic twist because for four years she played the part of an opera prima donna who began singing like a frog in The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. To help regain the vocalizing, in 2016 she joined Stephen Clair (guitar) and Kathleen Bosman (violin, viola) to perform songs by German American composer Kurt Weill and French chanteuse Edith Piaf. On June 22, at 6 p.m., the Saint Rita trio (supported by Nate Allen and Brad Hubbard) will perform a program called Lost & Found at the Howland Cultural Center in Beacon featuring deep cuts and popular songs from the pair's repertoire. The show is a benefit for Beacon High School's German American Partnership Program, established in 2022 with support from the German founders of the Beacon-based software firm Docuware. It brings foreign students to Beacon in October. On June 28, to complete the annual exchange, 18 Beacon teens and two teachers leave for Munich. Ellenwood, known for getting things done around town, got the call and implemented the nuts and bolts with the Parent Teacher Student Organization. This year, with help from the U.S. State Department and the Goethe Institute in Manhattan, the school district took over responsibility for its administration. Growing up in Nebraska, Ellenwood studied in Finland as an exchange student and aimed to be a diplomat, but the arts beckoned. There is no German language program at Beacon High School, she says, but "last year, a bunch of students, led by Skylar Clair, started a German study group and some of the kids are going this year, so this is changing lives." Rita, "patron saint of the impossible," says Ellenwood, is also the name of a new 100-seat music venue at the KuBe Art Center that she and her family plan to open with trombonist Dick Griffin on July 19 in the former high school's band room. Relevant to the concert, Piaf is said to have asked friends "to pray for Saint Rita, patron saint of lost causes" before her death from liver cancer in 1963 at age 47. The June 22 show will include Piaf's most popular song, "La Vie En Rose," which sold 1 million discs in the U.S. when released as a single in 1947. After Mack David translated the lyrics into English in 1950, eight artists charted with it, including Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong. Weill fused pop and classical music and collaborated with Ogden Nash, Bertolt Brecht and Ira Gershwin, among others. His hits include "Mack the Knife," "Bilbao Song" and "Alabama Song" (covered as "Whisky Bar" on the first album by The Doors). "We do a down-and-dirty version" of the latter, says Ellenwood, which is saying something because the song is about "prostitutes looking for the next trick - sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll - in 1930." The Howland Cultural Center is located at 477 Main St. in Beacon. Tickets are $20 at dub.sh/saint-rita-show.

hr-Bigband feat. Silva Droste & Jeff Cascaro cond. by. Jörg Achim Keller, Alte Oper, Frankfurt, September 2000 | Kurt Weill - Schöpfer der Dreigroschenoper, von Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny, Mitstreiter Bertolt Brechts. Seine Musikalität, seine melodische Erfindungsgabe und harmonische Originalität waren nicht an eine Stilistik gebunden, und so gab es eben mehrere 'Weills' zu verschiedenen Zeiten: den (leider ebenfalls zu wenig wahrgenommenen) Sinfoniker, den Brecht-Komponisten und - für viele Jahre - den Musical- und Filmkomponisten, dessen Titel neben anderen des 'American Songbook' sich hervorragend für das Idiom Big Band eignen. (Sendung vom 20.4.)

Today I present the male lead creator of Gershwin's towering masterpiece, Porgy and Bess, the magnificent Todd Duncan (12 February 1903 – 28 February 1998), whose other creations included work by Kurt Weill, Cole Porter, and a pop standard that might surprise you. Duncan also made extraordinarily important contributions as a teacher, a recitalist, and as a civil rights figure. All of these aspects of his life are explored in this episode, which features recordings from all corners of his artistic and musical life, including two live broadcasts of excerpts from Porgy and a number of rare recordings of art song and a treasurable (if craggily-recorded) album of spirituals. Here was a man who pursued his career and his life with a strong sense of his own self-worth, but also kindness, integrity, and humility. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Berühmt wurde Kurt Weill mit der Musik, die er für Bertolt Brechts "Dreigroschenoper" schrieb. Vor den Nazis floh er in die USA und wurde amerikanischer Staatsbürger. Vor 125 Jahren wurde der Komponist in Dessau geboren. Struck-Schloen, Michael www.deutschlandfunk.de, Kalenderblatt

Heute vor 125 Jahren wurde der Komponist Kurt Weill in Dessau geboren.

Am 2. März 1900 wurde der Komponist Kurt Weill in Dessau geboren. Seine Geburtsstadt lädt alljährlich zum Kurt Weill-Fest, das heute wieder eröffnet wird. Worauf sich die Künstlerische Leiterin, Constanze Mitter, freut.

Jürgen Schebera ist einer der großen Weill-Kenner unserer Zeit. Seine Liebe zu dessen Musik entdeckte er in den 1960er Jahren über alte Schellackplatten. Mit Weills Witwe Lotte Lenya führte er einen regen Briefwechsel. Für seine Weill-Biografie recherchierte er in den 80er Jahren als "Ossi" in New York. Kurt Weill, das ist für ihn viel mehr als nur die "Dreigroschenoper". Zum 125. Geburtstag am 2. März hat Jürgen Schebera seine persönlichen Lieblingsaufnahmen mit der Musik des Komponisten mitgebracht, dessen Weg von Berlin bis zum Broadway führte.

In der neu gegründeten Stadt Mahagonny kann man uneingeschränkt spielen und trinken: Man darf alles, solange man nur bezahlt.Doch der Untergang lässt nicht lange auf sich warten. Bertolt Brecht und Kurt Weill schufen mit ihrer avantgardistischen Oper eine Parabel auf den Untergang des Kapitalismus. Am Wochenende feierte sie in einer Neuinszenierung von Jochen Biganzoli in Augsburg Premiere.

In this episode, Nick sits down with the brilliant Robert Gordon for an insightful and entertaining conversation. Together, they reflect on Robert's eventful 2024, delving into the highlights of the year, including his thoughts on the latest revival of Oliver! and the new musical of The Devil Wears Prada.  The conversation then takes a fascinating turn as Robert discusses the first-ever concept musical, Love Life. Recently brought to life by Opera North in Leeds, this groundbreaking piece of musical theatre history sparks a rich discussion about its relevance, impact, and timeless themes. Love Life is a landmark piece in the history of musical theatre, often considered the first "concept musical." It premiered on Broadway in 1948, featuring music by Kurt Weill and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner. The show stands out for its innovative structure and thematic depth, offering a satirical exploration of the American Dream and the challenges of modern relationships.  See how it links to a classic Disneyland attraction...

Most of the albums so far in my father's collection were of popular artists from the US. This record is the first of four my dad had from an orchestra leader who reportedly was from England, featuring a trumpet player, who reportedly has the same name as the guy who writes all the liner notes for the orchestra leader. Meanwhile, there were a number of musicians who really recorded this album. Who they were is a budget record label mystery. So, get ready to hear some pretty melodies while you're having your afternoon crumpets in Volume 199: Tea and Trumpets.

Remember the summer of 2020? The good old days of lockdown? That was the first summer that I was producing Countermelody, and during that time I tried to inject a little levity into the podcast by doing a long series on crossover. One such episode was devoted to a century of tenors singing crossover, reaching back further than a century from Hermann Jadlowker and Caruso himself and extending to the present day. There was such a wealth of gorgeous material which led to an additional bonus episode on such “Rogue Tenors,” which includes (among the German-speaking singers) Helge Rosvaenge, Fritz Wunderlich, Peter Schreier, Richard Tauber, Marcel Wittrisch, Jonas Kaufmann, Anton Dermota, Walther Ludwig, Herbert Ernst Groh, Joseph Schmidt, Jan Kiepura, and Julius Patzak; others include Stuart Burrows, Roland Hayes, Richard Lewis, Lawrence Brownlee, Jan Peerce, José Carreras, Kenneth McKellar, Noah Stewart, Tino Rossi, Luigi Alva, Giuseppe di Stefano, and Jerry Hadley in a wide range of repertoire and styles ranging from Neapolitan songs Kurt Weill; from folk songs to Victorian parlor songs; from operettas and Tonfilm Schlager to jazz and rock. It's a rollicking good ride; hold on tight and enjoy! Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

durée : 01:28:52 - "Lost in the Stars", les 75 ans du chef d'oeuvre de Kurt Weill à Broadway - par : Laurent Valière - Le 30 octobre 1949, Kurt Weill repoussait encore les limites de la comédie musicale avec une œuvre sur la réconciliation en Afrique du Sud entre deux pères de couleur de peau différente qui ont perdu leur fils. Dernier succès public de Kurt Weill avant sa mort, l'œuvre est rarement montrée depuis.

"Me gustaría tanto que te acordaras de los dias felices en que fuimos amigos, cuando la vida era más bella y el sol más brillante...” escribió Jacques Prévert. "Les Feuilles Mortes” la más universal canción de otoño con música de Jozsef Kozma, judío fugitivo del III Reich, pero la canción de los dias que se acortan y el eterno retorno ,"September Song” de Kurt Weill, coautor junto a Bertolt Brecht de "Mack The Knife", más judíos víctimas del "nazional socialismo". La letra de la tercera de las universales otoñales "Chanson d´Automne”, santo y seña del desembarco de Normandia, Verlaine, musicada por Trenet, pero hay más bajo la piel de los amores idos. Gladiolos, dalias, crisantemos, siemprevivas pero también hiedras trapadoras, flores de fango, plantaciones enteras de bulos. Ayer como hoy.

Die "Moritat von Mackie Messer" von Bertold Brecht und Kurt Weill ist nichts anderes als eine gute True Crime-Story. In dieser Folge erkundet Roland die mörderischen Wurzeln des Songs – und vergleicht natürlich die unterschiedlichen Versionen.
