The Geschwister Pfister present:
Ursli Pfister
Peggy March, Frau Huggenberger und ich
Only the Pfister siblings have succeeded so perfectly in portraying the entertainment scene of the 60s, 70s and 80s. That was the time when there were still television programmes that worked across generations. They lovingly parody the sweetly mendacious kitsch of the industry, artfully, ambiguously and ‘only seemingly innocently’ (Die Welt).Ursli Pfister, alias Christoph Marti, spent his...

His critics place him in the same league as Morgenstern, Ringelnatz and Kreisler. Sebastian Krämer is capricious in his comedy, sweet to coarse in his songs. His musical vocabulary ranges from swing to Viennese school. His "Liebeslieder an Deine Tante" (Love Songs to Your Aunt) do not contain any slogans or even recommendations for creating a better world. We are not dealing here with purposeful...

However, the creative work of the Jewish composer who was born in Dessau, matured to become an artist in 1920s Berlin, and fled from the Nazis is much broader than The Threepenny Opera or Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny. In America, where Weill lived from 1935 until his death in 1950, he wrote musicals and...
