Synopsis

Amazon.com
An evocative series of cabaret songs by the notorious Viennese modernist Schoenberg and the celebrated theatrical team of Hans Eisler and Bertolt Brecht. The disc is titled Urban Cabaret, signifying, of course, the incipient terror of 1920s and 1930s Berlin that lurked behind the genre's decadent camp; but the soprano, Maria Tegzes, is never heavy-handed. These wry and felt performances illustrate both the playful levity of Schoenberg's music--usually ignored--and Eisler's careful artistry. --Joshua Cody
