Maria Mikheyenko, soprano and Kymry Esainko, piano,
perform Barbara Song from The Threepenny Opera
(Die Dreigroschenoper) by Kurt Weill & Bertolt Brecht.
This performance was part of the annual fundraising concert
for the Pacific Mozart Ensemble at the Town & Gown Club of Berkeley, Ca. January 30, 2010.
I believe she's used to singing opera pieces. That's what makes this performance so special.
And she sang German on the last verse! Brava!

I saw the Threepenny Opera in Melbourne last week and although I had read the play beforehand I had not heard any of the music. Immediately afterwards I was in love with it :) This song was my favourite and this is a fantastic version of it.

Finally: one performance of this song that is not only bearable (unlike so many) but also quite powerful and a credit to the original while retaining a different feel.
