Ute Lemper Sings Kurt Weill

Whether attracting or repelling her audiences, the international chanteuse Ute Lemper is never less than magnetic. Her style is perversely polymorphic: One moment she might tear into a song with predatory hunger, then she might purr out a dreamy croon or toss back her head for a brassy squeal of jazz. In her latest 54 Below set she takes a walk on the Weill side, a path she has trod very well in the past.
