Kurt Weill - The Seven Deadly Sins-- "Stolz / Pride"

[bumblebert]

I love Marianne Faithfulls version. Played loud through the surround system. Clears the cobwebs!!!x

[ReignOfPraine]

Very strange... and erotic...

[whizbang47]

Kulinarisch, as Brecht would say with disgust. No wonder Black Bourgeois Nationalist writers label Brecht a white establishment playwright. It isn't remotely true and productions like this one are lies. Bonbons for snob daughters of little Stalins.

I'll bite.

How can a short clip, presented without context and from a production conceived long after Brecht's death, reflect on Brecht in any way?

I can't get used to hear it sung with great Opera-voices..... The original has smaller voices, more raw, less vibrato. Fits the setting better for me.

But beautiful all the samen, thanks for posting it!

@hilhorst234

You are completely right - great Opera-voices are inhuman, laughable, not to understand (not here), mindfuck of brainless conservative music science. In history there was some justification for loud, room filling voices, but today it is an idioty. They stll are fixed on historical restrictions. But that is not all - this idiotc manirism on the opera stage, where a fat crying idiot is dying 10 minutes long because of any shit, shows how perverted this is.

@1sabineMai Nobody's makin' you listen to 'em.

[OperaBaritoneJoe]

[SENAFOREVER]

There is Howard Haskin, the great Heldentenor.

[mirocchi]

Thanks so much for posting it. Please give us more!!!

[gingerpartington]

I can't even tell the sins apart. That was pride? Well, fuck me dry.

[Hip2BeSquare]

Marianne faithfull did a good version

[AFYONMeMo]

I don´t believe that Pride is a deadly Sin!

But even so I shall burn in Hell for it!

[dedauw]
