Music Reviews of Kurt Weill: Street Scene (1990 Studio Cast)
Music Review: Great recording of a great musical
Rating: 5 Stars
This is a great recording of a great musical. I have seen two stage productions (one by the New York City opera) and in both instances I was profoundly moved. This recording brings about the same feeling. Josephine Barstow is heart breaking as the hopeless and tragic Mrs. Murrant. Everyone else has a true theatrical feel to put this engrossing, dramatic show across as wholly realistic. Decca's sound is outstanding. This is one show that should be performed more often.Music Review: Outstanding recording of a forgotten gem!
Rating: 5 Stars
An extremely well-done and moving recording of Kurt Weill's "Street Scene", and the only complete, un-cut score recording. Wonderful singers are a highlight (including a great cameo by Arleen Auger), and the story that takes place in a New York tenement shows how well Weill absorbed American life. Conductor John Mauceri can also be heard as the speaking character, "Office Murphy".
