No style (and no language) trips this woman up. Is there anything she can't sing?
-
Teresa Stratas nails this song like no other. This version is too fast to pull the charm and humor out of every phrase. "Statas Sings Weill" disk is where to fall in love with this song.

See the Album "For the Stars" from Elvis Costello with von Otter.[amazon]
-
Yes she can.She is the one and only Operasinger who sings Jazz and Musical adequate.
If you listen to:"This House is empty now" by Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello you'll be convinced

@harrythepiano He also wrote a violin concerto, 2 symphonies, 2 string quartets, a cello sonata, and other orchestral works. He certainly regarded himself as a classical composer! Anne Sofie's interpretation of this song is perfectly valid (indeed it is very fine) and I am sure Weill would have been very happy with it!

@Youkali67 For *your* information it absolutely *is* cabaret - as in the classic archetypal Berlin scene of the 30's. I'm not sure you understand the term or the flexibility of the boundaries! Weill may have a few different labels attached to him but 'classical composer' is stretching it. He wrote 'Mack the Knife' for goodness sake - the most standard of all jazz standards. Yes it was part of the score for the Threepenny opera, but that was not a classical score, more akin to a musical.

@elizabethvonslussen She *IS* deniably good at it because I and any other jazz musician would deny it!! It's like Ussain Bolt having a go at the steeplechase. I'm sure he wouldn't be useless but...!!

@N9155E U T E return key is four keys on youtube, try it (laughing)

Bravissima von Otter!!!!

@harrythepiano For your information, this is not cabaret it's musical. And opera singers also sing in musicals and Weill is a classical composer.
