Georg Kreisler - Seltsame Liebeslieder (1961)

Georg Kreisler was born on July 18, 1922 in Vienna, Austria. He was an actor and composer, known for "Das Orchester" (1979), "Des Broadways liebstes Kind" (1969) and "Vanillekipferln" (1969). He was married to Barbara Peters, Topsy Küppers, Mary Greenwood and Philine Hollaender. He died on November 22, 2011 in Salzburg, Austria.

Georg Kreisler fled Vienna to avoid anti-semitic persecution in 1938. Since his return from the US to Europe in 1955 he has achieved recognition in the world of German cabaret, but because he has consistently maintained a radically critical view of capitalist society and its interpretation of democracy, the status that his artistic achievments warrant has eluded him.

His plays and novels are generally less well-known than the extraordinary range of songs he has written for the cabaret, where his remarkable musical and verbal dexterity as composer, poet, pianist, and performer has produced work of enduring quality and appeal.

Equally great his Nichtarische Arien!

As a side note : Kreisler copied some of his most popular songs from Tom Lehrer , a Harvard Mathematician, whose songs were a little more geeky , but as political and black humored as Kreislers.
