Los artistas alemanes que llegaron a Estados Unidos huyendo de los nazis dejaron allí un legado musical importante. Las canciones que Kurt Weill compuso se convirtieron en estándares y pasaron al mundo jazz desde el cabaret o el musical. A temas grandiosos como el September Song o It never was you, se unen otros muy conocidos como este Speak Low que escuchamos en la voz y estilos maravillosos de otra ilustre emigrada, la austriaca Lotte Lenya, una reina de la canción en Berlín antes de la guerra, la musa y esposa de Weill. Sublime! Disfrútalo!

I love the shot of Lotte and Kurt together, just wish we could see more of her. It's fun to compare this one to the one of Kurt singing and playing it.

I just listened to about 20 versions of this beautiful song on various sites of the internet, but this version is the best I've heard. Lotte Lenya singing, and the beautiful orchestration of this version capture what I believe is the true spirit of what Weill and Nash would have wanted. THANK YOU !!!!
