Kurt Weill

Gisela May not only does it, she flaunts it. She can sustain it for an amazingly long time and makes it part of her interpretation of the song, especially in “Mackie Messer,” giving the whole thing a growling/purring tiger-like quality entirely compatible with her smoky voice.




Anything Audra McDonald does becomes the definitive version.  I wrote about this here.
Here is Nannas Lied.  No apostrophes in German.
