Die Dreigroschenoper Band (2) - Zuhälterballade ! (1928)

Another title from the "Dreigroschenoper" (Threepenny Opera) is the "Zuhälterballade", originally performed by Macheath and Jenny (Harald Paulsen / Lotte Lenya)

For this video I decided to combine this haunting melody with images of the Great Depression... The images and the music seem a very good fit.

This record features the original Dreigroschenoper-Band : the Lewis (later Ludwig) Ruth Orchestra under the direction of Theo Mackeben. This record is in astonishingly good condition for an 80 year old record. It is also a flea market find of recent weeks ! (99,99% of the records I own were bought at flea markets).

About the record :

Odeon O-2703b / mx. Be 7674

Herrlich ! Was für ein toller Klang. Der Einsatz der Gitarre hat mich wirklich überrascht. Danke.

[Leotaurus1975]

Ja, mich hat's auch überrascht - aber wie toll das klingt!

[krammofoon]

Hammer Aufnahme. Tolle Qualität. Danke vielmals für dieses schöne Stück.

[Leotaurus1975]

Danke Schön! Ich bin froh, dass es gefallen hat... Auch die französische Aufnahme von Mackie Messer gefällt mir gut.

[camille885]

Le son est d'une qualité extraordinaire! On dirait qu'il sort d'un disque neuf. (La musique et les images vont très bien ensemble) Merci!

[Leotaurus1975]

Merci Camille! Oui, en effet, quelle trouvaille ce disque! Je l'ai trouvé aux puces quotidiennes de Bruxelles un beau matin...

Questa e' musica da sogno, Weill principe della musica contemporanea

[Lumirefan]

hast du auch die seeräuber jenny?

[phantom1897]

I'm a theatre major, taking German for my foreign language, and thinking of using this for my final in Costume Design Class. Love these orchestrations. I love old music and such like this anyways, so coming across this was a treasure. Danke! Video ist prima und super.

[jonjamg]

Really magical! The first orchestra to play the music for Weill ? Other versions are rather pale!

[affebirne]

ich suche ein lied in dem die textpassage : wir schlagen ihr fressen mit schweren eisenhämmern ein" vorkommt.

Ich hoffe mir kann hier jmd behilflich sein
