The rising star of German musical theatre is shown in her first British public performance. It was a sell-out, with multiple encores and rave reviews. The
Independent said she 'sings with an immaculate balance of drama and musical precision'. Ute Lemper presents her own selection of songs by Kurt Weill (born 2
March 1900), including Mack the Knife, Surabaya Johnny , Youkali, and My Ship.
Recorded at the Theatre Royal, Bath during last year's Bath Festival.
Piano accompaniment by Jurgen Knieper.
