Weill, K: Matrosen-Tango (from Happy End) (Sailor's Tango)

At the invitation of Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Diane Dufresne sang some of the best-known Kurt Weill songs at an all-Weill concert that took place in March 2003 in Montreal and that is already regarded as one of the most important events of recent years on the Montreal music scene. The recording was done shortly after the concert. The CD also contains Symphony No. 2, a work Yannick Nézet-Séguin had dreamed of performing for a long time. The provocative Diane Dufresne has been the object of an enduring fascination on the part of audiences everywhere. An real artist right down to the core, La Dufresne has explored various musical styles, including symphonic concerts where even Mahler has had a place. She is accompanied in this Kurt Weill exploration by the Orchestre Métropolitain du Grand Montréal under Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
