Anke Sieloff in recital "Say it with music!" by Various, R 31 dets 2021, Alates (2021/2022), Juhatatud Carsten Kirchmeier, Dirigent Martín Sotelo, Kleines Haus, Gelsenkirchen, Germany

New York, New York: melting pot of traditions with its abysses and contradictions, its luxury and poverty, its colorful dogs and underdogs. Tin Pan Alley, street of the music publishers and the ringing heart of the music industry, produced hits in chord between 1900 and 1950. Singers like Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra made the jazz forge world stars. But the dark side of the vibrant city - broken hearts and burst dreams - are reflected in the titles of this time and give them their bittersweet charm. They come from brilliant minds like Cole Porter, Irving Berlin or George Gershwin, who later shaped Broadway. Singer Anke Sieloff and director Carsten Kirchmeier follow their footsteps with a jazz trio led by pianist Martín Sotelo.
