German-born American composer Kurt Weill was a leading composer for the stage in the first half of the 20th century. He is best known for his fruitful collaborations with poet and playwright Bertolt Brecht. Their collaborations were hugely successful at the time, and remain popular. In this present recording, the Weill-Brecht collaboration is featured
in the classic The Seven Deadly Sins, possibly their most famous composition. Also presented in this release is the rarely heard yet charming Suite panameenne along with the ever popular orchestral suite from The Threepenny Opera.

This live concert recording, made in 1991 and 1993, was only ever released locally in Basel for a short period after the recording. FHR’s remastered recording will now make the release fully available on streaming platforms along with full worldwide CD distribution.
