Brecht-Eisler Song Book (Music Sales America) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This collection includes songs written by Hanns Eisler for plays by Brecht (Die Massnahme et al.), "mass songs" such as the United Front Song (Einheitsfrontlied), and selections from the Hollywood Liederbuch,with texts written by Brecht while he and Eisler were living in SouthernCalifornia. In some cases, Eisler set Brecht poems which were also set byKurt Weill; the comparison is enlightening. This is a fine introduction tothe work of an important, complex, and (until recently) neglected 20thcentury composer.
