Marianne Faithfull Sings Kurt Weill ( Live In Montreal, 1997) Extended Cut ( Full Concert)
Marianne Faithfull Sings Kurt Weill (Live In Montreal, 1997) Extended Cut (Full Concert) This special performance is the culmination of a year long tour by Marianne Faithfull and pianist, arranger Paul Trueblood. The breathy, frail, and innocent voice of the 60s, wilted by too many years of hard living, now conveys deep layers of emotion, and the rasp in her voice goes straight to the soul. This concert revisits her album 20th Century Blues and her passion for Kurt Weill, especially the songs composed for his theater collaborations with Bertolt Brecht (among them Alabama Song, Pirate Jenny, The Ballad of The Soldiers Wife and Surabaya Johnny). Here Marianne reveals herself as an accomplished cabaret singer, raconteur who combines the worldweariness of Marlene Dietrich with the raw expressiveness of Lotte Lenya. 1. Alabama Song 0:00 2.
