Songs as Monologues, Injected With New Life

“If you're beaten, conceal it!/There's no pity for you./For the world cannot feel it.”

For American audiences, the unsparing view of humanity expressed in many of the best-known songs of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill is usually camouflaged by their reputation as exotic European art songs. via New York Times
