Cabaret Berlin: Revue, Kabarett and Film Music between the Wars

by Edel EarBOOKS

Gorgeous, archival photographs of shows and architecture combined with authentic recordings bring the roaring twenties in Berlin to life. From Kurt Tucholsky to Marlene Dietrich: authors, composers and performers present an intimate view to a riotously comic and tragic era. Music CDs: No cultural history would be complete without the hit songs composed by Ralph Benatzky, Werner Richard Heymann, Friedrich Hollaender, Rudolf Nelson, and Mischa Spoliansky; presented here on four CDs with wonderful archival recordings of Marlene Dietrich, Curt Bois, The Comedian Harmonists, Trude Hesterberg, and Margo Lion.
