UTE LEMPER SINGS PABLO NERUDASong Cycle of Love Poems
Artistic idea and concept by Ute Lemper
Composed by Ute Lemper & Marcelo Nisinman
Ute Lemper's newest creation is a song cycle to the love poems of Pablo Neruda. This very delicate and beautiful songbook is presented mainly in Spanish, but also has adaptations in French and English. It is a fantastic celebration of this especially sensual poetry by Neruda who had written these poems on the Chilean ISLA NEGRA after years of exile. Neruda had escaped from Chile to Argentina and Europe because of his anti-fascist political and artistic activities and writings. His main poetic creations were written during exile. He collaborated with Picasso on highly political inspired works and received several world peace awards by socialist countries. The love poems are dedicated to his wife Mathilda.
“A confrontational entertainer and heir to the political cabaret tradition of Weimar-era Germany. Where sensibility and feelings come first for American cabaret singers, Ms. Lemper doesn't perform anything that isn't propelled by an idea." -New York Times

Ute Lemper Is a Classic
In response to Ute Lemper - Report this Comment
I have caught most of her Joe's Pub performances and I am excited to see her perform "The Bukowski Project" this week.
There is a very good video interview with Ute on PBS, where she talks about Bukowski and contemporary cabaret. Worth checking out.

TSAR STEFAN, Kabarett Savant, wrote in his Blog of UTE LEMPER'S performance on November 24, 2007 at Joe's Pub:
DEAREST FRIENDS & CABARET LOVERS !
IMPERIOUSLY!
TRUELY!
IMPERIOUSLY!
Imperiously, UTE LEMPER planted her stilettos upon the stage of Joe's Pub last Saturday night, reducing her entire audience to captive lovers!
With a joy, she challenged the audience musically, intellectually, emotionally, and politically!
A very, beautiful woman, wearing a long, sexy, shimmering, black dress and, yet, almost naked, reminding all not to be so complacent but to be aware and thoughtful, experiencing life with the heart, the mind and the soul!
How appropriate are her Weimar Era Kabarett songs in today's world!
Whether doing her repertoire in French, German, English, or Yiddish, she is equally at home with every nuance of each language!
She speaks with her face, body, legs and hands as much as with her voice, heart , mind and soul!
UTE LEMPER, without doubt, is one of the Greatest Cabaret Artists of all!
Long may she rule!
There is no one else like her!
Run and catch a performance by UTE LEMPER anywhere, anytime!
XXO.Stefan!
