(1900-50).This week Donald Macleod looks at the life and career of Kurt Weill.
Weill's wife Lotte Lenya said: "I'm not sure that I ever really knew him, even after 24 years of marriage and the two years we lived together before that. And when he died, I looked at him and asked myself, did I ever really know him?" Weill remains an enigmatic character for many of us - on the one hand he was the militant collaborator with the Marxist playwright Berthold
Brecht, and on the otherthe composer of popular Broadway shows. Donald Macleod begins his survey with a look at Weill's early days in Dessau, his Jewish background, his move to Berlin, and the influence of Busoni.
