Lyrics to Weill's 7 Deadly Sins
Motore Mobile
I am desperately lookin' for the german original text of Kurt Weill's
opera/oratorio/leader cycle (how should I call it?) called "Die sieben
Todsunde" (The Seven Deadly Sins".) If anyone of you possess the text on
file or would be so kind to scan the libretto for me and then send the zip
to my address chich...@hotmail.com, I'd me immensely grateful to him (or
her). Cheers,
M.M.

published? Even the LP came with only a synopsis. Note that it is still
in copyright, which will be an issue for some.

Hello,
"Die sieben Todsünden der Kleinbürger" is the German title of the 7
deadly...
written by of course Berthold Brecht You can find it on the internet at
http://brecht.chadwyck.co.uk/ in german and this comes from the "Suhrkamp
Verlag"
(the real thing in other words) Chadwyck wants you to pay for looking but
they have some kind of free
preview so try it.

Definitely, the text is published in numerous formats by Suhrkamp.
Earlier LP's would have problems with the two estates. I suspect those
issues have been resolved as most(?) of the CD's have the full text
by Suhrkamp...
Anyway, I would like to say there is a "KurtWeill" discussion list at
egroups.com .

FWIW, the Columbia LP recording of this work (KL 5175) definitely
contained the texts and translations in the flyer that came with the LP.
This recording appeared, I should think, around 1957 or so. My copy of
this disc is monophonic. I have no idea whether there was also a
stereophonic edition. The performance centers upon Lotte Lenya, with
Julius Katona, Fritz Göllnitz, Ernst Poettgen and Sigmund Roth as "The
Family". An unnamed orchestra is conducted by Wilhelm
Brückner-Rüggeberg. The performance runs ca. 35 minutes.

booklet contains the lyrics in German, English and French. $17.99 at Tower. I
also bought the C.D. with Lotte Lenya. I must say that the Migenes version is
better sung and more fully realized by Michael Tilson Thomas and the orchestra.
The Lenya version sounds "old" and distant...like a home-made recording, and
although obviously distinctive, has a rough, edgy quality....perhaps right for
this work, who knows?! Lenya's Anna is not as imaginative as Migenes', IMO.
Incidentally, I will be singing the baritone part in the quartet when the
National Symphony and Leonard Slatkin perform it on Sept 27, 28 and 29th in the
Kennedy Center. The performance features Ute Lemper as Anna.
