ON THE RECORD: Kurt Weill -- A Legendary Hit and A Long Lost Surprise
The year 2000 marks the hundredth anniversary of Kurt Weill's birth (and the fiftieth anniversary of his early death). There have been several celebrations of his early work but little acknowledgement of his eight Broadway musicals. One of them, One Touch of Venus, was recently recorded (and about time, too!). Three others are in need of full recordings -- Knickerbocker Holiday, Love Life, and the fascinating Firebrand of Florence -- but I suppose we'll have to wait until someone is willing to finance them. In the meantime, two new releases have arrived; one welcome reissue, and one very much unexpected new recording.
