"Il ne faut pas vouloir ajouter à ce qu'on a ce qu'on avait. On ne peut pas être à la fois qui on est et qui on était. Il faut savoir choisir. On n'a pas le droit de tout avoir, c'est défendu. Un bonheur est tout les bonheurs. Deux, c'est comme s'il n'existait plus."

I had no idea this was a cabaret song

This interpretation is probably the best I have ever heard, it is really incredible, Huan Cristián Poblete. Viña del Mar, Chile

Bach und die Deutsche Sprache... Von Gott geküßt!!!

Perfect for a Halloween soundtrack ! It’s so creepy

Love it, liebe das muzik

Lyric by Bertolt Brecht for their opera The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny”.

Wonderful as this performance may be, I feel I must point out that the version heard here -- and on several other recordings -- is that made after Kurt Weill's death for his widow Lotte Lenya to perform (and record). All of Anna I's music is transposed down a fourth, making for a much darker sound -world to the piece. As a means by which Lenya could once again sing the role she had created over a quarter century earlier, when her vocal range was significantly higher, this was surely acceptable, but its subsequent adoption by others, including the estimable Ms. May, has really significantly distorted our understanding of Weill's superb score.

My high school choral group performed this in 1964 at Wheelus Air Base Libya North Africa

A highly addictive opera. Listen at your own risk.😊

I love ragtime I love bach and I love hindemith

I first heard this work back in the 70s, a French group conducted by Charles Dutoit--I love that record. Now this version has gone to my heart too. Wonderful actors, great players--love that bassoon.

I’m scared…

Any listen in 2024 ? ----- 21:45 --- How beautiful !!!!!

I wish they'd made a film of this play. The Three penny opera is melancholic and creepy too, but still a classic.

Jim had good taste

Da fehlt mir der intelektuelle Zugang.

I think The Doors did a great cover of this song. They really nailed it.

What is this instrument?

Very strange song. Spookier than any consequent versions.

Her accent is the real hook of the song.

Weill give your work away I'm gonna be the star Oh don't ask why Oh don't ask why and Eli must obey to Brecht, the only star For if you don't obey and make me a big star I tell you I must die I tell you I must die I tell you I tell you I tell you I must die Oh cave of Eli-baba I found a true gold mine I've got a Hauptma-mama It won't be risky Oh, you know why!

brilliant - the doors ruined it by making it sound like music fit for a circus

Tres lent, tres larga mais a magnífique intrpretation. Un beux piece de art

Fome. Claro que los alemanes deben considerarla una pieza brillante. Con el complejo que los persigue , basta que un judío se tire un peo para que lo consideren una obra maestra

😂😂😂😂

This sounds enormously idiomatic.

spitzenklasse

I just don't understand, why they have to find the next little boy, what is it , some kind of fraise? I simply refuse to believe they are serial killers 😂

Me encanta esta versión original de esta canción, realizada por sus creadores Kurt Weill y su mujer Lotte Lenya que sobrevivieron al nazismo trasladándose a los Estados Unidos de América .

Great unique symphony.

Well, I won’t be sleeping tonight, thanks a lot. 🥺

scary

Fantastique, j'adorais cet album enfant. Je l'écoutais en boucle. Ça me fascinait littéralement. Merci !

Gib mal lyrics bruder

Oh dear! This sounds like Wagner. Ute Lemper every time for me!

Sehr stark

This is heartbreaking, given what eventually happened to some of these performers.😢😢😢

This was a marathon recording session. Proud to be a part of it.

Is very cool, like the doors one ❤
