  • Angel Blue sings Kurt Weill's 'Youkali', accompanied by pianist James Baillieu. The performance was part of an Insights event in which novelist and journalist Will Self discussed the themes of the opera and challenged the purpose of the art form. The event was live-streamed online.

    A wonderful rendition, but please take note of the accompanist James Bailliu. He is a rising star - such songs are really a duet.

    It seems that there is an error : the music is from Kurt Weill but the lyrics are from Roger Fernay, not from Bertold Brecht (confusion with the Dreigroshenoper, probably). However, her voice is splendid, on a par with my favorite interpretation of Teresa Stratas

    Yes, Kurt Weill composed the beautiful music, but the French lyrics are NOT by Bertolt Brecht. Weill had fled Germany by the time he wrote this song (1934) and was working in France. The lyrics are by Roger Fernay. Weill subsequently had to escape France as well when the Nazis invaded, and he then had a nice career in America!

      The concert was live-streamed, so it was probably for that.

    A little too much vibrato IMHO. She appears to have little natural feel for the the tango. Fabulous pianist
