the 78 rpm record album (6 records)

"STREET SCENE”

A modern opera by Kurt Weill (music), Langston Hughes (lyrics) and Elmer Rice (book).

This is 6-Record Columbia release “MM 683”.

Recorded: 1947 (February 27 & March 3).

 

Program notes by Kurt Weill on inside front cover.

Album Cover Design: Alex Steinweiss.

The opera is set in the 1930s, in front of a tenement on the Lower East Side of New York City. The neighborhood is populated by many different nationalities: an ebullient Italian, a fat, comfortable Hausfrau, a thick-headed Swedish couple, a left-wing Russian Jew, and hardened Americans who despise the foreigners.

Of the opera, Weill wrote, "Street Scene is about life in a street of New York. We see, in the beginning, the women who live in the house, sitting on the steps, complaining about the heat, talking to the janitor…" 

All Authors / Contributors: Kurt Weill; Langston Hughes; Elmer Rice; Maurice Abravanel; Anne Jeffreys; Polyna Stoska; Brian Sullivan; Creighton Thompson; Hope Emerson; Remo Lota; Randolph Symonette; Don Saxon

Contents:

        Prelude --
Moon-faced, starry eyed --
Ain't it awful, the heat? --I got a marble and a star --
Gossip --
When a woman has a baby --
Somehow I never could believe --
Wrapped in a ribbon and tied in a bow --
Lonely house --
Wouldn't you like to be on Broadway --
What good would the moon be? Remember that I care --
Morning --
Children's game --
Lonely house --
A boy like you --
We'll go away together --
The woman who lived up there --
Lullaby --
I loved her too --Farewell duet.

This 72 year old album is complete.

The album cover is in very good overall condition with some wear and minor soiling – the right edge of the front cover is the only area with more than light wear (see below).

The discs have scattered light scratches. 

I have not played them.  See photos.
