Lotte Lenya , Musik: Kurt Weill , Text: Bertolt Brecht ‎– Happy End (LP)

The Lotte Lenya LP for Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht's Happy End is a legendary record. Lenya, Weill's wife, defines the ultimate performance style for these cabaret classics. She brings a raw, gritty, and totally captivating energy to the stage songs. Critics praise her singing as a "force of nature". 

The record contains classic 1920s German musical theater. Some famous tracks include the "Bilbao-Song," "Surabaya-Jonny," and the "Matrosen-Tango". 

Her singing style is not traditional. It is closer to spoken word or half-singing. This approach is perfect for Brecht's sharp, dark lyrics. It gives the music a tough and dramatic feeling. Weill's tunes mix jazz with cabaret. The mix creates a haunting and cabaret-style sound.
