Mahagonny Songspiel. Chansons des Quais. Kleine Dreigroschenmusik
Ensemble Modern has a close, passionate and long-standing connection with the music of Kurt Weill and the Viennese conductor, composer and chansonnier HK Gruber. Now the Ensemble presents a new CD featuring three works by Kurt Weill under the baton of the avowed »Weillian« HK Gruber. Specifically, ›Mahagonny Songspiel‹, the ›Chansons des Quais‹ and ›Kleine Dreigroschenmusik‹. Recorded with the singers Ute Gfrerer and Winnie Böwe as well as the vocal ensemble amarcord, the CD was produced with support from the Kurt Weill Foundation in New York.
