I missed out on this in 2014. Could you please re-up.

There will be a re-up this evening. Greetings!
When I was in high school and had begun studying German, I wanted to retain my limited skills in the language during the Summer. Fortunately the local library had a copy of this album and Lotta Lenya was my tutor for one month. Thank you so much for posting it. She was simply wonderful.
Of course I first heard the name Lotte Lenya from Bobby Darin's rendition of Mack The Knife in 1959. I always thought she was just some unfortunate dame that got sliced up on the waterfront or something.
Since then, however, I have grown to love her singing and the whole Berlin cabaret scene of the 1930s. Not to mention Kurt Weill. Thank you for this.
please re-up dead link - Thankx
I can never get enough of this beautiful music...
Thanks for your feedback!
