Kurt Weill - American Musicals: One Touch Of Venus / Lady In The Dark / The Threepenny Opera flac album

One Touch of Venus is a musical with music written by Kurt Weill, lyrics by Ogden Nash, and book by S. J. Perelman and Nash, based on the novella The Tinted Venus by Thomas Anstey Guthrie, and very loosely spoofing the Pygmalion myth. The show satirizes contemporary American suburban values, artistic fads and romantic and sexual mores.

The Threepenny Opera (Die Dreigroschenoper) is a "play with music" by Bertolt Brecht, adapted from a translation by Elisabeth Hauptmann of John Gay's 18th-century English ballad opera, The Beggar's Opera, and four ballads by François Villon, with music by Kurt Weill. Although there is debate as to how much, if any, Hauptmann might have contributed to the text, Brecht is usually listed as sole author.

This collection is devoted to music from shows like The Firebrand of Florence (a 48-performance flop) and Johnny Johnson (68 performances), shows that never had cast albums. Neither did Love Life, another show highlighted here, even though it ran a comparatively long 252 performances, if only because, as annotator Miles Kreuger points out, the year it opened on Broadway there was a strike of the musicians union that prevented anything from being recorded.

These recordings were the cornerstone of Lenya's American career, and even with pop orchestration-"Saga of Jenny," "Green Up Time," "Speak Low"-these are infectious numbers.
