Has anyone heard Jody Applebaum's "Masterpieces of Cabaret" album? What a wonderful discovery! I recently bought it because I'll be working on Britten's "Cabaret Songs" soon, and was totally blown away, both by Ms. Applebaum's interpretation and by the other songs on the album, (esp. the Bolcom pieces -- they're a hoot!). Previously I knew very little about the cabaret genre (is there one?), and I do believe I have found my niche!
That said (or rather, gushed), I have 2 questions for the list:
1. Does anyone know of other recordings either by Ms. Applebaum or by other artists doing cabaret songs?
2. Does anyone on the list have experience performing cabaret songs? I'd be interested to hear from you -- how you approach them, how your performances went, etc. (Feel free to e-mail me privately if you're feeling verbose!)
As always, thanks in advance!
