Kurt Weill and Hanns Eisler 3: Collaborating with Brecht Weill first set Brecht's words in Mahagonny (1927); the following year they produced The Threepenny Opera.
Despite its runaway success, the two men quarrelled, and the association ended in 1930. A brief and grudging reconciliation in 1933 lasted just long enough for them to write The Seven Deadly Sins. Eisler's collaboration with Brecht began in 1930 with Die Massnahme and Die Mutter. They remained friends and worked together on songs, plays and films until Brecht's death in 1956, after which Eisler continued to set Brecht's texts. Records
