Weill, Seven Deadly Sins, Kurt Masur, NY Phil, Angeline Roux (Teldec)

Work needs to be sung (as written) by a soprano (as it is here) and not an octave lower, as it eventually was by Lenya, Gisella May, and others.

I will live with the Lenya.

[Larry Kart]

My mistake. In Lenya's powerful 1956 recording, and those (by Gisella May, Uta Lemper, et al.) that came in its wake , Anna's music was not sung down an octave but a fourth. Lenya was still a soprano in 1933 when the work was premiered, but sadly she did not record it back then. The sound of Lenya the soprano was something else.

Many years ago I saw the Pina Bausch group perform 7 Deadly Sins.  No idea who was singing or in what range  but it was good.
