Title: One of the essentials.
Product review: Lotte Lenya was an authentic legend of the musical theatre. Her performances in "The Threepenny Opera" and "Cabaret" are considered by those who saw them to be among the finest ever given anywhere. This CD includes her treasured numbers from both of those landmark shows - but wait, there's more. 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. It doesn't matter. She's got "it," and that's all that matters. These recordings ring true to character. My two favorites on this CD are "Foolish Heart" and "It Never Was You." Both nearly forgotten gems. All musical theatre fans should own this CD - it's trul essential.
