Ute Lemper in Paris- Youkali-tango (Weill)

Ute Lemper sings my favorite Kurt Weill song, "Youkali" (tango/habanera), about man's yearning for a utopian paradise of his most profound dreams and desires, ending in inevitable disillusionment.Lemper's voice has been called an acquired taste, but it's one well worth acquiring. She certainly doesn't have the polish or refinement of some classically-trained divas who have recorded Weill (i.e. Stratas, von Otter, Farley, Reaux). Lemper easily eclipses them, however, when it comes to phrasing, mood painting, and diction. She gets the FEELING just right, and that makes her two Weill albums on Decca (as well as her recording of The Threepenny Opera) essential listening for any Weill enthusiast.Lyrics and translation for "Youkali" can be found at the following link: http://www.lyricscafe.com/m/me...

yes! thank you very much - a very biting social bitter social satire - saying something of value when so much is trivial. thanks again for taking the time to reply. nick

I think you may be referring to Friedrich Hollaender's "Munchausen", a biting critique of the social ills in Nazi Germany. It is available on Lemper's album of Berlin Cabaret Songs, which she recorded both in German and English.

great posting this - haunting and makes you think of things you don't usually do. i saw ute lemper in paris at le chatelet - she sang a song with the refrain 'liar liar' in it - would you happen to know what it's title is? i've been hunting on iTunes and everywhere - to no avail.

I'm a huge fan of Ute Lemper's... it's not her voice, it's her presence, her delivery that has a strong impact on her audience! Thank you for posting! 5*

for some reason she visits Athens-Greece very often. She gave a concert in February, and there will be another one this September. Unbelievable, she makes you think that you're in middle-war Berlin and she is as good as in her discs. Adorable.

There was a concert here commemorating the anniversary of WWII and she sang there, but I couldn't go because it was too pricy and I was like 16 haha :CCCC

I did, last February, and she was divine! I wish you to see her soon!
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
