After a sucsession of fairly weak recordings of Weill's masterpiece this is the one I return too always. Although the sound quality is of the 1950s (very listenable though) this is by far the recording that I believe best captures the composers intentions. The singing is imprecise but charecterfull. Mack Heath is fantasic - deep voiced, menacing and very slimey. Lotte Lenya as the prostitute Jenny is brilliant as ever, looking forward to the day when she can storm the brothel where she works with a pirate ship and have all her clients executed. Modern, serious operatic recordings seem to miss the point altogether and take the fun and drama out of the Threepenny. This is an opera for beggars and should be approached as such.

Incomparable 6 Aug 2008
I had this recording on LP and then bought it on CD. Quite wonderful. I think no one quite gets it right as does Wolfgang Neuss who is the Moritatensänger and who sings the Moritat von Mackie Messer. I've seen the opera performed in Berlin in the Schiffbauerdamm theatre where it was originally premiered in 1928 and the Germans are the experts on this. The stage performance matched this recording as far as I could tell despite the lengthy dialogue that seems to be missing from all the sound recordings.

Like Cabaret, which this reminds me of, it has links with Berlin in the 1930s. Full of no nonsense Germanic exuberance, it is music of that era, and pleasing enough to listen to. Unquestionably, the most famous (and fabulous) song is 'Mack the Knife' Worth getting if you are interested in the Germany of the 1930s.
