Eclectic. Diverse. Brilliant. Kurt Weill wrote extraordinary songs. Songs of desire and love. Songs of hatred and anger. Songs of hope and renewal.
Why such eclectic brilliance? Unlike Gershwin or Porter or Rodgers and Hammerstein, Kurt Weill was forever marked by his life in Germany in the 1920's and '30's, when that country was ripped apart by war, racism, economic strife and genocide. In response, Weill learned to shift between the sublime and the shocking in a heartbeat.
Bremner says: "I've been entranced by the music of Kurt Weill throughout my adult life. I've sung his songs in lovely concert halls and in dark, dilapidated saloons. I've sung his music accompanied by rock bands and with classical string quartets. I've never grown tired of his music.
