Customer Reviews A Great English Interpretation While it may be considered more highbrow to insist upon one's Weill sung in German, not being fluent in the language, I was grateful for the English translation. Marianne Faithfull does an admirable job tackling Weill's Seven Deadly Sins. Ms. Faithfull clearly has a deep respect and understanding for Weill's work, and her weathered voice is very well suited for his more cynical songs. The sound quality of this version is also particularly good. No cigar Perhaps it was courageous for Faithfull to compete in an arena so dominated by one singer. This is at best an interesting curiosity for the collector's library. But compared with the Lotte Lenya version (ASIN B000002991), her rendition sounds both mechanical and lugubrious. .
