Kurt Weill - American Musicals: One Touch of Venus / Lady In the Dark / The Threepenny Opera album flac

One Touch of Venus is a musical with music written by Kurt Weill, lyrics by Ogden Nash, and book by S. J. Perelman and Nash, based on the novella The Tinted Venus by Thomas Anstey Guthrie, and very loosely spoofing the Pygmalion myth. The show satirizes contemporary American suburban values, artistic fads and romantic and sexual mores.

The Threepenny Opera (German: Die 3 Groschen-Oper) is a 1931 German musical film directed by G. W. Pabst. It was produced by Seymour Nebenzal's Nero-Film for Tonbild-Syndikat AG (Tobis), Berlin and Warner Bros. Pictures GmbH, Berlin. The film is loosely based on the 1928 musical theatre success The Threepenny Opera by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill.

This collection is devoted to music from shows like The Firebrand of Florence (a 48-performance flop) and Johnny Johnson (68 performances), shows that never had cast albums. Neither did Love Life, another show highlighted here, even though it ran a comparatively long 252 performances, if only because, as annotator Miles Kreuger points out, the year it opened on Broadway there was a strike of the musicians union that prevented anything from being recorded.

Lady in the Dark is a musical with music by Kurt Weill, lyrics by Ira Gershwin and book and direction by Moss Hart. It was produced by Sam Harris. The musical ran on Broadway in 1941, in the United Kingdom in 1981, and was also made into a 1944 film and a live 1954 television special.

Fresh from his smash hit Lady in the Dark (1941), Weill hit his stride with Venus, pulsing it with erotic sass, a bit of his own patented Weimar syncopation and a whole lot of plain old Broadway belt. Each song is a delight, whether smoldering with sex ("Speak Low"), love lost ("West Wind") or all-out comedy spritz ("Way Out West in Jersey" and "The Trouble With Women"). Everybody gets to sing in this musical. His music already had the sophistication, but Nash and Perelman made him laugh.
