Orchestra of Opera North - Kurt Weill: Love Life - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Classical

As a concept musical, Love Life was a real trailblazer, inspiring musical theatre favourites of the 1960s, 70s and beyond from Cabaret and Chicago (originally subtitled 'A Musical Vaudeville') to Sondheim's Company (told through a series of vignettes). It is Inchone of Weill's best scoresInch (conductor Jim Holmes), a masterpiece of putting different musical styles together, Incha compendium of American musical idioms, cunningly chosen so that they suit the dramatic materialInch. Kurt Weill and Alan Jay Lerner teamed up in 1947, both riding high on recent successes (Street Scene for Weill, Brigadoon for Lerner) and looking for new projects. When Love Life premiered on Broadway in 1948, Weill called it Inchan entirely new form of theatre.Inch Stephen Sondheim denoted it as Incha useful influence on my own work.Inch Album Tracks 1.
