PARIS IN A GLASS
Taylor Wilson captures perfectly the sensual elegance of the songs ...the heart-stoppingly lovely, wistful classics.
(from Taylor Wilson's Kurt Weill performance) “Take a Walk on the Weill Side" is a rich homage to this time and to this man, and it’s a pleasure to see it done with the skill and intelligence it needs. The music is beautiful, filled with subtlety and nuance.
