Ute Lemper is Amazing--Definitely 5 Stars (plus)!
by 1GLS on 5/20/13Sixth & I Historic Synagogue - WashingtonThis performer is unbelievable--singing cabaret songs German, French, and English. There were many Weill/Brecht selections, selections from Marlene Dietrich, Brel, and Piaf, and a very intelligent commentary throughout the performance. Ms. Lemper has a wonderful stage presence, fluid movements,and great dramatic flair. Her accompanists were talented, and I very much enjoy the sound of the bandoneon, a concertina (squeezebox) used in tango presentations among other musical genres.
