Music reviews of Street Scene: An American OperaMusic Review: Less than the sum of it's partsThere are wonderful songs and elements in "Street Scene", and Weill won the first composer Tony ever awarded for it, but it doesn't hold together even in the recordings of the score (this or the complete). There is something condescending in its tone, 'the little people sing too' which is unintentional but done better by Blitzstein and Bernstein before and after (though in other works they obviously bow to Weill). There is nothing New York in the sound, which is odd as Weill is most chameleon of composers; the date, the period is there but the songs are either pop/Broadway or Italian operetta and don't seem to belong to this particular block. With a great cast of actor/singers it might fly, but I haven't heard them yet.
