Immer noch die Beste
much thanks. i saved this clip as a present for my mothers birthday. she saw gisela may concerts in east germany in the 60s.
Ganz toll..............Gisela, wie sie leibt und lebt!
Love her.
Großartig war sie auf der Bühne auch als Mutter Courage - ich durfte sie in den 80er Jahren im BE erleben.
Lebe wohl, Grande Dame
I have heard of Gisela May, but only heard her in one brief selection. Now I have!! Lotte who?????? Definately learned the style from Lotte Lenya, but a much more animated actress and better singer. When the camera moves in for a final closeup just at "Hoop-la" her expression sent shivers up my spine, knowing she was sending men to their deaths, at least in her imagination. Absolutely a brilliant performance. One hundred fifty stars
Einfach nur großartig.!!!
Sie ist grossartig!
Voce meravigliosa per un pezzo musicale maestoso
Sie war die Beste.
Ho avuto la fortuna di assistere ad una esibizione di questa grande artista (allieva diretta del compagno B.Brecht ) a metà degli anni settanta presso la filarmonica della città di Messina.
love Gisela May. Hear her in Seven Deadly Sins and be transpoted
Unvergessene großartige Schauspielerin und Sängerin.
@gadaichie ?????Das ist nicht Lenya !! Das ist Gisela May !!!!
@ConradHansen Dann hast Du aber sehr viel verpasst - schauspielerisch hat sie sehr viel größeres geleistet als die Muddi in Adelheits Mörder ....
Ich finde Ute Lemper kann man nicht mit Gisela May vergleichen - das wäre wie Äpfel und Birnen zu vergleichen.Lemper singt ein ganz andere Fächer als Gisela May.
Sounds like "Pirate Jenny" in German.
IT IS.
There are are numerous attempts to interpret this song dramatically, as uploaded to RUclips, with varying impactual successes.
Judy Collins, in, I believe, her debut audio album or LP recording, nailed this in audio only (more's the shame if you can't get to grips with a mental picture-from-sound).
All who followed her, in English translation, with video footage, follow her and fade in her shadow (including the estimable Nina Simone). Because those who take it on are working an audience - pre-or-post video recording.
Judy did this looking at a Neumann mic in a studio vocal booth. Sheesh - close your eyes, people, and listen.
While you're at it, check out (on the same album) her 'edited highlights (gulp)' from The Marad/Sade 'difficult' stage musical.
Always in character, translucent AND opaque. What a voice.
I have listened to that Judy Collins album.
+Alan Batterman Yes, because it´s the original language
Did you study Bresht and Veil they were forst to fly to usa because all communists were put in concentrationcamps. Hitler let fire to thir theater.
La Edith Piaf alemana.
Ihre letzten Lebensjahre waren leider von Leid begleitet und Traurigkeit begleitet.....
Hopla! 02:27
like Domenica!
Good, but no comparison to Nina Simone's definitive version. Look for it here on RUclips (watch?v=TCcKBc4gwAQ )
No, this is much better than Nina Simones version, because much more original.
