Dear La Marca, It turns out that Ute Lemper is one of the soloists in a 1989 recording of ThreePenny Opera from London Records the RIAS Berlin Sinfonietta conducted by John Manceri. It seems that RIAS Berlin is doing all of Weill's work. A pal ferried it over to me last night -- I should say that I don't like her much, she is like a parody of a German singer -- huge consonants and over emphasis. I wonder if she is doing it deliberately (Brechtian alienation). Her Pirate Jenny is nothing on Lenya. But the band with her is hot! It is a great production. Yours, Peter
