Description
|
|
|
|
(2013 Grammy Nominee for Best Classical Vocal Solo) Acclaimed chanteuse Ute Lemper journeys through a European songbook that embraces the nuevo tango of Piazzolla, the French chanson of Piaf and Brel, and the Polish-Jewish music of Chava Alberstein. "One of the year's best chamber-music albums.... The Voglers capture all the playfulness and electrifying drama of these finely nuanced songs, and the quartet is the perfect foil for the passionate Lemper's celebrated sensual theatrics."—Strings "Lemper, a commanding and fluid singer, is particularly gifted at interpreting Weimar-era compositions, and her new record features a revealing cover of the Brectht/Weill standard 'Surabaya Johnny' as well as renditions of later works like Hanns Eisler and Kurt Tucholsky's trenchant antiwar song, 'Der Graben.' The Paris component … is surprisingly effective and offers a refreshing Gallic contrast to the darker German material."—The New Yorker "With her assured, smoky-toned voice and elevated talent for expression, one gets a strong sense that Lemper is not only performing her songs, she is virtually living them."—MusicWeb International
