Mahler, Romberg & Weill: Atlantic Crossings / Doerner, Parisian Orchestre Pasdeloup
The album āAtlantic Crossingsā by the Parisian Orchestre Pasdeloup, directed by Wolfgang Doerner, is dedicated to music written by European composers who came across the Atlantic to New York or later had to flee there from the Nazis. Gustav Mahler, who since 1907 has been travelling annually to New York over the winter to perform there, is introduced with the āLieder eines fahrenden Gesellenā with the Austrian baritone Daniel Schmutzhard, āDas himmlische Lebenā with the French soprano Amel Brahim-Djelloul, as well as the orchestral pieces āBlumineā and āEntracteā (from āThe Three Pintosā).
Extended by the jazz orchestra of percussionist Franck Tortiller, Orchestre Pasdeloup presents Sigmund Rombergās āLover Come Back to Meā, again featuring Amel Brahim-Djelloul; Romberg had been living in New York since 1909 and had established himself on Broadway. In the same line-up, Kurt Weill, who had to leave Europe for good in 1935, can be heard with āBerlin im Lichtā, the chanson āJe ne tāaime pasā written in France in the early thirties and the Broadway song āThatās Himā from 1943.
