Ute Lemper. Edinburgh Festival. Usher Hall

Some performers reach down into your soul,infuse you with awe and leave you stunned. Rare.Ute Lemper is one

Usher Hall,Edinburgh. Packed. Scottish Chamber Orchestra,subtle in its brilliance led by Lawrence Foster.
He wrapped up the orchestra, danced with them, pulled them this way and that with great love, joy and panache. Stunning.
Ute. Every breath, every note, every inflection, every raised eyebrow was perfection . She didn’t just interpret the songs with brilliance, she lived them, reached out and gifted them to us,captivated us and drew us in to live them too.

Ferre’s Avec Le Temps. Transported.
The decadence and dark richness of German cabaret . We were there.
The delicate beauty of the yearning of love. We were in love and heartbroken.

There are no words.
